Drew Surges is a versatile, playmaking Iowa State safety with a nose for disruptive moments
In the 2025 season, Drew Surges played in all 12 games, made three starts, and posted 26 tackles with 2.5 tackles for loss, two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery, an interception, and two pass breakups—exactly the kind of stat line that screams impact, not just participation[1][5]. He looks like a downhill, instinctive defensive back who can create chaos near the ball, and his 6-foot-1, 205-pound frame gives him enough size to handle physical work on the back end[1][11]. For a team that wants a safety with toughness, ball skills, and a little “don’t-test-me” energy, Surges is a pretty appealing fit[1][5].
