Finally, Iowa State has landed their first cornerback commitment in the 2020 class thanks to 3-Star cornerback Michal Antoine out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida (Cardinal Gibbons HS). After putting Iowa State in his top six last month, Michal made his announcement public on Twitter Friday morning. He chose Iowa State over schools such as Missouri, Minnesota, Boston College, USF and FIU.

Michal told me a while back that he originally planned to announce his decision in August and then decided to push it back a bit. He also was set to visit week one for the opener against Northern Iowa but wasn’t able to make the trip so the fact that he committed without visiting yet says a lot about how good this staff can recruit.
With Michal’s commitment, Iowa State now has twenty-one commitments in the 2020 class and I would fully expect the Cyclones to try and get at least one more cornerback on board for this cycle. Back in July, Michal told me that “They showed me and told me that I was one of the major pieces missing in their secondary.” Well, not anymore because the Cyclones have got their guy. Now, Iowa State has the third best class in the Big 12 for 2020 and the thirty-third ranked class nationally according to 247.
