Iowa State gets a versatile, ready-made three-down back in Gabriel Wilson
Gabriel Wilson enters Iowa State as a 2026 three-star RB who brings a compact 5-foot-9, 190-pound frame, verified production, and a “complete back” skill set: in the 2025 season, he rushed 147 times for 1,113 yards and 13 touchdowns while adding 185 receiving yards and two receiving scores. He’s valued for speed, pass-catching, and blocking, with recruiting services slotting him around the country’s No. 72–76 running back and among Texas’ better prospects. Translation: if Iowa State wants a plug-and-play, all-purpose back with upside, Wilson fits the bill nicely.
