(From cyclones.com) AMES, Iowa – Nate Scheelhaase, who spent the last three seasons on the football staff at Illinois, has been named the running backs coach at Iowa State, head coach Matt Campbell announced today.
“Nate will be a valuable addition to our staff,” Campbell said. “I feel Nate is a rising star in this profession. He is energetic, has a high football I.Q., and will fit in perfectly with our current staff. We can’t wait for Nate to get started here at Iowa State.”
Scheelhaase was on staff at Illinois from 2015-17, spending his first season as assistant director of football operations and running backs coach on Bill Cubit’s staff. He was retained by current head coach Lovie Smith and worked the last two seasons as an offensive analyst for the Fighting Illini.
A 2012 graduate of Illinois, Scheelhaase finished his career as the Illini’s all-time total offense leader with 10,634 yards, a total that ranks seventh in Big Ten history. In 2013 he had one of the best offensive seasons in Illinois football history, leading the conference in passing yardage (272.7 ypg), total offense (295.2 ypg) and completion percentage (66.7) during his senior campaign, while also breaking the school record for passing efficiency (140.7) to earn All-Big Ten honors.
A four-year starter and two-time team captain, Scheelhaase is the only quarterback in UI history to lead the Illini to bowl victories in back-to-back seasons and is one of just two players in Big Ten history to amass over 8,000 passing yards and 2,000 rushing yards in his career. He finished among the Illinois career leaders in almost every quarterback category, ranking first in starts (48), second in completion percentage (63.0), completions (775) and rushing yards by a QB (2,066), and third in passing yardage (8,568), touchdown passes (55) and passing efficiency (130.2).
Scheelhaase earned the prestigious Big Ten Medal of Honor in 2014, was a four-time Academic All-Big Ten honoree and earned two degrees from the University of Illinois – a bachelor’s degree in communication (2012) and a master’s in sports management (2013).
Scheelhaase and his wife Morgan have a son, Cru.

The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office reports two people were hurt during a collision between a two cars Thursday evening, south of Red Oak. Officials said a 2012 Ford Mustang, owned and driven by 31-year old Melissa Lynn Bond, of Red Oak, was traveling south on Highway 48 just before 6-p.m., and stopped at the intersection with 230th while waiting for cross traffic, so she could turn east onto 230th. A 1998 Buick LeSabre, owned and driven by 56-year old Donna Diann Franks, of Essex, was also southbound on Highway 48, but Franks didn’t notice Bond’s car was stopped on the roadway. Her Buick struck the Ford, causing a total of $9,000 damage.
Bond and her passenger, 55-year old Mark Kevin Cody, of Villisca, suffered possible/unknown injuries, and were transported to the Montgomery County Memorial Hospital, for treatment. Franks was cited for Failure to Stop in an Assured, Clear Distance. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office was assisted at the scene by Red Oak Police, Red Oak Fire and Rescue, and Eggleston Towing.
A Semi-tractor tanker accident occurred Thursday morning, in Montgomery County. The Sheriff’s Department says a 2016 Peterbilt semi-tractor pulling a liquid cargo tank trailer owned by Sudbeck Trucking, in Sheldon, was traveling on 110th Street just before 8-a.m. Thursday, when the driver fell asleep at the wheel. The semi entered the south ditch about three-quarters of a mile west of O Avenue, and crashed through a pasture fence. The driver, 58-year old Keith Faber, of Boyden, was not injured. Damage to the semi amounted to $4,500, while the fence sustained $600 damage. No citations were issued.
Wagering on “fantasy” sports teams would become legal in Iowa under legislation that’s cleared one statehouse hurdle, but it would only be legal if the organization hosting the fantasy gaming is licensed by the state to do so. John Cacciatore has been hired by DraftKings and FanDuel to lobby legislators.
“There are hundreds of thousands of Iowans today who play season-long fantasy sports with their friends and neighbors and co-workers, etc.,” he says. “Those same Iowans would like to also play daily fantasy sports which is basically in an online platform but that’s not allowed because, technically, fantasy sports is illegal in Iowa.”
The bill that cleared a five-member House subcommittee Thursday would allow the state’s casinos to take wagers on fantasy sports teams. Businesses like FanDuel and DraftKings would have to apply for a state license, pay state taxes and be subject to oversight from state gambling regulators. Reverend Brian Carter is lobbying against the bill on behalf of the United Methodist Church. He says gambling “fosters greed” and puts faith in chance.
“We would rather support Iowa values of education, hard work and perseverance,” Carter says. “Gambling is a menace to personal character and social morality.”
A lobbyist for the 19 state-licensed casinos says DraftKings and FanDuel ultimately aim to “morph” into online sports betting sites. He points to what happened last weekend as one site allowed “fantasy” teams to be assembled from N-F-L playoff game rosters — and he says the other site plans to offer fantasy sports betting on the Super Bowl.
