Iowa State's Versatile, Academic All-Big 12 Rock on the O-Line
Redshirt junior Evan Ladwig (6-4, 315 lbs) brings rare two-way dominance from high school—ECC Offensive Lineman of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year with 68 tackles and 14 TFL as a senior—to Iowa State's trenches, earning 2023 Fall Academic All-Big 12 honors in Agricultural Studies. A three-year starter with wrestling grit and Cascade, WI roots, his size, smarts, and intensity make him a reliable anchor who protects the QB while excelling off-field; perfect fit for teams needing disciplined, high-motor linemen who elevate team culture.
