Becht Tabbed Cyclone Club Athlete of the Week

Iowa State football's Rocco Becht has been named the Cyclone Club Athlete of the Week after leading the Cyclones to a 34-27 victory over Oklahoma State Saturday.

The ISU quarterback completed 27 of 38 passes for a career-high 348 yards along with three touchdowns and no interceptions. It was the most passing yards for an ISU quarterback since Brock Purdy threw for 356 against Texas Tech on Nov. 13, 2021.

The Wesley Chapel, Fla. native is one of four quarterbacks in school history to record a game with 300-plus yards passing, three touchdowns and no interceptions. His three touchdowns, 27 completions and 348 yards were all career bests.
