Defensive lineman Markell Chapman played last season at Highland Community College in Kansas while punter Jonah Dupont was a second team junior college All American at Iowa Western. He was a former standout at Center Point-Urbana High School. The Cyclones open the season August 23rd in Dublin, Ireland against Kansas State.
