Iowa State coach Matt Campbell did not provide specifics when asked about a gambling investigation and the status of quarterback Hunter Dekkers at Big 12 Football Media Days in Dallas. The school announced in May that more than a dozen Cyclone athletes were being investigated for online sports wagering.

Campbell says they hope to get some clarity soon. ISU has said the allegations involved members of the football and wrestling teams as well as track and field.

The Cyclones are looking to bounce back from a 4-8 record in 2022 and improvement begins with winning the close games. The Cyclones were 1-8 in the Big 12 and six of the losses were by a touchdown or less.

Campbell likes the way his team has approached the challenge.

The Cyclones open September second at home against Northern Iowa.
