Iowa State returns two of the finest cornerbacks of the past decade back for their senior seasons in 2018. The back end of the defense is anchored by Brian Peavy and D’Andre Payne, and boy, are they good.
Peavy has been named to the 1st Team All-Preseason by the media in the Big 12, and Payne earned Honorable Mention honors a year ago. Both are solid veterans, who have a plethora of young talent behind them in the defensive backfield.
If there is anything that fires up Matt Campbell it’s an athletic, versatile, tall and speedy cornerback.
