Iowa State Cyclones head coach Matt Campbell talks to players after the university's Spring Football game at Jack Trice Stadium Saturday, April 22, 2023, in Ames, Iowa

Iowa State football added another player to its quarterback room with the commitment of Butte College product Tanner Hughes, a source with direct knowledge of the situation told the Register.

Hughes spent two seasons at Butte College. In his first year, he completed just 10 passes for 110 yards and two touchdowns. He threw two interceptions that season. This past season, Hughes completed 143 passes for 2,193 yards and 23 touchdowns, while only throwing three interceptions.

Hughes landed offers from Morehead State and Duquesne, based on his Twitter. The Cyclones offered him on May 20 and he committed to Iowa State three days later.

He is the fourth scholarship player in Iowa State’s quarterback room for the 2023 season. Hunter Dekkers, Rocco Becht and JJ Kohl are the other three.
