Iowa State lands its fourth football recruit in a week; two for 2022 and two for 2023

Iowa State stayed hot on the 2022 football recruiting trail during a very hot week.

The Cyclones on Wednesday picked up Myles Norwood, a cornerback from Iowa Western Community College in Council Bluffs. Five days earlier, Iowa State added JC offensive lineman Oluwafunto Akinshilo, who previously played at El Camino College in California.

Norwood, a 6-foot-3, 180-pounder from St. Louis, will enter Matt Campbell’s program immediately after redshirting his freshman season in 2021.

Norwood announced his decision early Wednesday evening on social media. He chose the Cyclones over offers from Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky and Syracuse.

Akinshilo, who announced last Saturday, is a 6-5, 310-pounder previously committed to Boise State. He picked Iowa State over Mississippi State and Indiana.

It’s been a busy week or so for Campbell and his staff. While conducting two weeks of prospect camps, Iowa State also received 2023 commitments from two-way player Kooper Ebel from Hartley-Melvin Sanborn, and Ankeny’s Jamison Patton.

The Cyclones have 10 known commitments for the 2023 class.
