Completed Event: Football versus #17 Kansas State on August 23, 2025 , Win , 24, to, 21

Iowa State’s wide receivers were outstanding in Tommy Mangino’s first season leading the crew in 2014.
Four different Cyclones, including three receivers, recorded 40 or more receptions in 2014, one of only 12 teams in the nation to do so.
Despite losing its top receiver (Quenton Bundrage) on the first series of the season-opener, the Cyclone wideouts thrived under Mangino’s guidance. Senior Jarvis West led the way with 46 catches and ended his career with 117 receptions, the 11th-best total in school history.
Sophomore D’Vario Montgomery had a breakout 2014 campaign, catching 44 passes for a team-high 605 yards. Montgomery, who led the team with a pair of 100-yard receiving games, emerged as one of the top targets in the Big 12 in the second half of the season, catching 41 passes for 564 yards and two touchdowns in the last seven games of the year.
True freshman Allen Lazard posted one of the greatest rookie seasons by a Cyclone receiver in 2014, tallying 45 receptions for 593 yards, totals which both rank second all-time on ISU’s freshman record chart.
Mangino joined the Cyclones after spending 2013 at Arkansas as an offensive graduate assistant.
Prior to his time in Fayetteville, Mangino served on the coaching staff of Hutchinson (Kan.) Community College. He served as offensive coordinator in 2012, as the Blue Dragons tied or broke 15 school records, including a team record in pass completions and individual records in total offense, passing yards, rushing yards and receptions.
Mangino served as the passing game coordinator for Hutchinson in 2011. That season, the Blue Dragons set a school record with 601 points on the season. In 2010, Mangino was responsible for HCC’s quarterbacks and wide receivers.
Combined across his three seasons at Hutchinson, Mangino’s quarterbacks threw for 7,200 yards and 78 touchdowns. Among the players who Mangino worked with was 2013 NFL Draft first-round pick Cordarrelle Patterson, who plays for the Minnesota Vikings.
Mangino served as an offensive graduate assistant at Kansas for two seasons (2008-09). Mangino primarily worked the quarterbacks and wide receivers, helping quarterback Todd Reesing break nine school records and NFL wideout Dez Briscoe earn All-Big 12 honors. He was on-staff when the Jayhawks defeated Minnesota in the 2008 Insight Bowl.
Mangino was a two-sport athlete at Washburn University, playing football and baseball. Prior to attending Washburn, he was a JUCO All-American at catcher for Johnson County, batting .310.
Mangino earned his bachelor’s degree in sports management from Washburn in sports management in 2008. He completed his master’s degree in health, sport and exercise science at Kansas in 2010.
He is married to the former Danielle Huff, and the couple has one son, Vinny.
