veteran Cyclone lineman with proven Iowa roots
Collin Menard is an Iowa State offensive lineman with a long football résumé and a sturdy, in-the-trenches profile: he starred at Valley in West Des Moines, where he was named to Iowa all-state teams in the late 1990s, and later joined Iowa State as a 6-foot-4, 310-pound offensive guard from Iowa Central CC[1][2]. That background suggests the kind of mauler coaches love—experienced, physical, and familiar with Midwest line play. The catch: publicly available current-season performance data and recent scouting notes are limited here, so he looks more like a toughness-and-depth fit than a flashy stat-sheet star[1][2].
