The Iowa State football program added a new pass-catcher to its ranks Friday.
Former North Dakota State wide receiver Eli Green announced his commitment to the Cyclones on Twitter. Green has played in 27 games at the FCS level with a powerhouse Bison program. During those games, he hauled in 51 receptions for 969 yards and four scores. He can also be a rushing threat, having run 14 times in his career for 128 yards, good for 9.1 yards per carry.
The vast majority of his production came as a sophomore, catching 45 passes for 877 yards and three scores. He led the Bison with 1,197 all-purpose yards, including 118 on the ground and another 202 as a kick returner.
Green will join a Cyclones wide receiver unit led by seniors Jaylin Noel and Jayden Higgins. That duo combined for 119 receptions for 1,803 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2023. The Cyclones’ offense also boasts talented young running back Abu Sama III and quarterback Rocco Becht looking to improve on an impressive freshman campaign.
