Lance McShane is an NFL-sized, two-way athlete who brings downhill physicality to Iowa State’s linebacker room
McShane is listed at 6-foot-3, 225 pounds and arrives as a redshirted linebacker with a rare athletic backstory: he was a first-team all-state selection in 2023 after piling up 57 tackles, 4 tackles for loss and 2 interceptions on defense, while also rushing for 2,038 yards and 31 touchdowns as a senior at Maquoketa Valley. That two-way production points to instincts, range and contact balance, and Iowa State coaches are getting a player with proven competitiveness and unusual versatility rather than just a stat-line tackler.[2]
