Iowa State DL Isaiah Lee Leaves Program Amid Betting Scandal
The Iowa State Cyclones are losing another player in the middle of an ongoing betting scandal with senior defensive lineman Isaiah Lee leaving the program.
According to a report from CycloneFanatic, Isaiah Lee was one of the players charged by the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation after allegedly placed a wager on Iowa State to lose to Texas back in 2021.
Lee recorded 55 total tackles in his career with Iowa State as well as one-and-a-half sacks. With a depleted defense following departures due to both the ongoing sports betting scandal, and to the NFL Draft, the Cyclones head into 2023 with a defensive unit missing multiple key players from previous years.
The Illinois native was listed as a three-star prospect in the class of 2018 by the 247Sports index, checking in as 67th-ranked DL in the country, and as the 18th-ranked player in the state of Illinois.
While this offseason has added a new shade of bleak to Ames, the Cyclones will have to find a way to shake things up in the fall. Iowa State is coming off of its worst season to date under head coach Matt Campbell, and with a new season ahead, they look to bounce back against UNI on September 2nd.
