Jacob Lyftogt brings size, stability, and special-teams trust to Iowa State
Lyftogt is a redshirt junior long snapper at Iowa State who checks the most important box for his role: reliability. Listed at 5-11, 235 pounds in the 2026 roster, he’s a three-year squad member, a former No. 51 long snapper in Kohl’s rankings, and a Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll regular, which suggests both development and consistency. Long snappers rarely flash in stat sheets, but that’s kind of the point—his value is in clean, repeatable work, roster continuity, and the kind of steady, low-drama special-teams profile coaches love.
