Ben Latusek is a versatile, physical Cyclones tight end with blue-collar DNA
Ben Latusek’s value has always been in the grunt work: he’s a former defensive lineman turned tight end who brings size, edge-setting ability, and an offensive-lineman mentality to Iowa State’s room. Reporting on his development highlighted him as a walk-on who could earn snaps as a run blocker and depth option at the F/H-back spot, which is exactly the kind of unsung glue piece coaches love. If your team wants a tough, assignment-sound TE who helps the run game and understands the dirty details, Latusek fits the bill.
