The Iowa State Cyclones have been actively recruiting high school players through camps in Ames, focusing on identifying promising talent. One standout is Jaxen Proden, a two-way player from Liberty North High School in Liberty, Missouri. Proden impressed the coaching staff with his speed, clocking a 4.5-second 40-yard dash, and earned a scholarship offer during the camp. He has played both wide receiver and safety, showcasing his versatility, and this offer marks his first from a Division I program. Proden has previously received offers from Missouri Western State and Concordia University, but he considers Iowa State a top choice. He expressed enthusiasm about the camp experience, stating it was well-organized and enjoyable. Proden's performance last season included 54 catches for 754 yards and six touchdowns, highlighting his offensive capabilities. As he continues to learn more about Iowa State's program, the decision on which position he will play may influence his recruitment process further.
