New Iowa State Cyclones head football coach Jimmy Rogers has been hard at work since taking over the job from Matt Campbell, who departed for the Penn State Nittany Lions.

Extra attention has been put on the recruiting front in recent weeks, with Iowa State’s staff looking to make up for lost time. Because of how much work had to be done with the 2026 roster, they were behind when it came to high school recruiting.

That has certainly changed in recent weeks, with Rogers and his staff making the most of players who visited during spring practice. One player for whom significant progress has been made with is Joe Vinyard.

A tight end in the Class of 2027 from Waukee Northwest, he recently wrapped up his fourth visit to Ames in two months. And it should come as no surprise that he loves a lot of what the school has to offer.

“I’ve been nothing but impressed with their entire coaching staff and every time I’ve been up there, it kind of speaks for itself,” Vinyard said, via Bill Seals of Cyclone Report (subscription required). “I’ve been up there four times in the past two months, and that kind of shows how much I’ve enjoyed going up to Iowa State. They are really high for me, and I really do like Iowa State. They’ll be up high on my board when I make a decision.”

Rogers, tight ends coach Seth Hestness and offensive coordinator Tyler Roehl have gone above and beyond when it comes to making a good impression on Vinyard. It has certainly worked to this point, with them seemingly being in the lead to land a commitment from him.

During one of the recent visits, the Cyclones extended an offer to him, and things have snowballed positively since.

Iowa State is certainly fortunate for that because interest in him has been high. He has received 16 other offers from programs around the country, and the Iowa Hawkeyes have also expressed some interest in him.
