Iowa State University holds its football Media Day today in Ames. Noah Juergensen and Daric Whipple are 2016 high school graduates who played for the Greene County Rams and now are in the Cyclones’ program as invited walk-on players. Juergensen graduated from Paton-Churdan High School while Whipple is a Greene County HS grad.

Whipple summed up his multi-sport high school career with the Rams, and looked ahead to being a student-athlete at ISU. “I loved being able to represent Greene County. It was a great place to be and loved every minute of being there. It’s going to be sad not being around there all the time and being around old friends, but it’s time to move on to bigger stuff, and I’m looking forward to that.”
