Iowa State’s steady, veteran trench anchor
Kory Pence has the profile of a dependable interior offensive lineman: a long-time Cyclone, listed at 6-foot-4 and 315 pounds, and recognized for the kind of consistency coaches love in the 2004 season when he earned Academic All-Big 12 honors and was named a team captain[2][8]. The standout differentiator is reliability—he was described as a hard-working lineman who made a huge leap into a starting role, the sort of player who brings toughness, accountability, and no-drama leadership rather than flash[3][11]. If a team wants a mature, physically sturdy OL with leadership value, Pence fits the bill.
