Iowa State Football: 5 Bold predictions for Cyclones in 2021

Breece Hall is a Heisman finalist

Last year, Hall racked up 1,752 yards from scrimmage and scored 23 total touchdowns, which made him Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year.

While I don’t think he will repeat winning that award, I do think he will wind up in New York as a Heisman Trophy finalist when it’s all said and done.

Spencer Rattler will have a lot to say about the Heisman and Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year, but Hall is going to eclipse 2,000 total yards next season and might even hit 2,000 just on the ground.

Last season, Hall rushed for just under 1,600 yards in 12 games. Iowa State had just one non-conference game and still didn’t play its full schedule.

So Imagine what Hall will be able to do next year, especially if the Cyclones are able to play in 14 or 15 games, which isn’t out of the realm of possibility.

Iowa State also has its starting quarterback, so teams won’t just stack the box and Iowa State also returns two All-Conference offensive lineman and the group is expected to be all upperclassmen.

With all those factors, Hall is going to put up huge numbers and he will finish in the top four of the Heisman voting.
