Owen Westemeyer brings rare offensive-line size and a redshirt-upside profile to Iowa State
Westemeyer is a 6-foot-4, 285-pound redshirt freshman offensive lineman who transferred to Iowa State after spending 2023 at Colorado, where he did not appear in a game, and he was listed as a squad member/redshirt in 2024 for the Cyclones.[3][7][20] The appeal here is projection: he already has Power-4 roster experience, a sturdy frame for interior-line development, and a background as a first-team all-state high school lineman, which suggests a player built more on upside and coachability than on current stat production.[3][7]
