Former walk-on turned All-Big 12 grinder for Iowa State
In the 2016 season, Nick Fett emerged as a durable, high-upside Iowa State offensive lineman after arriving as a walk-on, earning second-team All-Big 12 honors and the team’s top-OL award. His biggest differentiators were versatility, toughness, and a fast climb up the depth chart—he had already shown he could handle multiple line spots and hold up in game-ready duty when injuries forced him into action. For a team that values reliability, coachability, and a blue-collar edge, Fett was the kind of lineman who made you better in the room and on Saturdays.
