Jontez Williams Injury Update, Iowa State Football Cornerback to Miss Rest of 2025 Season
Williams, a preseason All-Big 12 cornerback, will miss the season after a late-game ACL injury, marking the second starting defensive back lost recently for Iowa State.
- On Tuesday, Iowa State announced starting cornerback Jontez Williams will miss the remainder of the season after damaging his right knee ACL late in the Cyclones' 39-14 win over Arizona on Saturday.
- Jeremiah Cooper previously tore his ACL in practice last week, leaving Iowa State Cyclones with two starting defensive backs lost and forcing multiple secondary starters to be replaced.
- A preseason All-Big 12 selection, Jontez Williams recorded 67 tackles and five interceptions over his career and earned Associated Press All-Big 12 second-team honors in 2024.
- Losing both starters poses serious challenges as Big 12 play intensifies, so Iowa State Cyclones will lean on Quentin Taylor Jr., Tre Bell, Ta'Shawn James and David Coffey to fill expanded roles.
- Campbell said Williams has handled the situation impressively and will be ready next year, while redshirt freshman David Coffey returned to practice, adding depth before Saturday’s visit to Cincinnati.
