Iowa State Announces 2024 Football Captains

(Ames) Iowa State head coach Matt Campbell has announced the team captains for the 2024 football season.

Seniors Beau Freyler and Jaylin Noel will be captains for a second-straight season, while fellow senior J.R. Singleton will be Iowa State’s third permanent captain in 2024. ISU will also have a fourth captain for each game, chosen every week throughout the season.

Beau Freyler – Sr. – Colorado Springs, Colo.

Freyler has been a mainstay in the Cyclone lineup since arriving on campus for the 2021 season. He’s made 25 career starts and was a CSC First-Team Academic All-American in 2023.

Jaylin Noel – Sr. – Kansas City, Mo.

Like Freyler, Noel will serve as team captain for the second straight season. He was an All-Big 12 performer last season and is a threat on offense and special teams.

J.R. Singleton – RSr. – Gurnee, Ill.

Singleton will be a team captain for the first time in his career. He made eight starts as a redshirt junior and had his most productive season with 22 tackles and a career-high 3.5 sacks, all of which came in Big 12 play.

The Cyclones open the season Saturday at 2:30 p.m. when they host FCS No. 22-ranked North Dakota and Jack Trice Stadium. It marks the 50th season of play at Jack Trice Stadium. Coverage all season on KSOM.
