Two more Iowa State football starters confirmed to be missing fall camp
AMES – Two more Iowa State football starters haven’t participated in fall practice, which started last week, coach Matt Campbell confirmed to the Register on Wednesday.
Campbell said after his press conference that defensive lineman Isaiah Lee and offensive lineman Jake Remsburg haven’t practiced since the start of fall camp. He did not specify a reason.

Lee’s 23 career starts include all 12 games last season at nose guard. Remsburg has 13 career starts, including the last six games of 2022 at right tackle.
Quarterback Hunter Dekkers is sitting out fall practice after the Story County Attorney’s Office filed a criminal complaint on Aug. 1, charging him with tampering with records related to the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation’s probe into sports gambling. The complaint included allegations that Dekkers wagered on a 2021 football game against Oklahoma State when he was a sophomore backup.
The complaint alleges the DraftKings account controlled by Dekkers completed approximately 366 mobile/online sports wagers totaling “over $2,799.”
According to his attorney, Dekkers, who started all 12 games last season, is sitting out fall camp “so he can focus on his studies and on the defense of this criminal charge."
Running back Jirehl Brock, who Campbell confirmed last week isn’t practicing either for an unspecified reason, has started 11 games in his career, including the first nine last season before injuries struck. Still, he led Cyclones rushers last season with 445 yards on 99 carries.
