Cyclone Sports Report: So how did the visit start once you got into Ames?Adrian Bennett: My mom and I got in Friday and I was able to sit in for a lot of team meetings. I got to talk a lot with Coach Ash and it really went great. I learned a lot and he's really a great guy. I like how he demands a lot from his players.
CSR: So what did you do on game day?
AB: I had breakfast with Coach Rhoads which went well and then I had team meeting to attend. After the meetings I watched the walk through and got to see the spirit walk before heading into the game.
CSR: What did you think of the game?
AB: The environment was great and I actually felt like I was a player at times. I just love how the football team is the really the center of attention there and my mom also really loved it.
CSR: What did you think of the defense during the game?
AB: I thought they played real well. They run the same type of schemes that we run at my school and I like how they run a lot of blitzes for their safeties.
CSR: What did you do after the game?
AB: I got to walk in the locker room after the game with the team and I was part of a mini water fight as part of their celebration which was a lot of fun.
CSR: Did you get to know any of the players?
AB: Yeah, I met LJ (Leonard Johnson), David Sims, and James Smith and I really enjoyed spending time with them. I really felt comfortable hanging out with them.
CSR: Did you get to talk with Coach Rhoads on Sunday?
AB: Yeah, we talked about academics and just how they do their business at Iowa State. I really like that they have an academic director who would guide me. I asked him how they are planning to use me and he told me that would expect me to come in and compete as a freshman for one of the safety spots.
CSR: Did you take any visits before your visit to Iowa State and do you have any other visits planned?
AB: Last week I was at Minnesota and there is a good chance that I will take visits to Missouri, New Mexico and TCU. I'm just not sure yet but it's likely that I'll take all my visits before making my final decision.
