Darian Cotton brings proven Iowa State toughness and turnover juice at DB
In the 2015 season, Darian Cotton showed up as a physical, reliable Iowa State defensive back with 34 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, and two forced fumbles, while also adding two pass breakups[3]. He was a former 3-star recruit with a strong in-state pedigree from Mount Pleasant, and his calling card was disruption rather than flash: active in run support, sticky enough to affect plays, and trustworthy in multiple game situations[2][3]. If you want a DB who plays with edge and brings blue-collar consistency, Cotton fits the bill.
