Cannon Butler brings veteran size and real run-stopping juice to Iowa State’s edge
In the 2024 season at Northern Iowa, Cannon Butler posted 59 tackles, 8 tackles for loss, and 1.5 sacks, and Iowa State brought him in as a redshirt senior with proven production and captain-level leadership. At 6-foot-6, his length and frame stand out, and multiple previews frame him as a transfer edge addition meant to bolster a Cyclone defensive line that wanted more quarterback disruption. He looks like a fit for a team that values experience, toughness, and dependable edge-setting with upside as a situational rusher.
