A loaded Iowa State transfer class grew one cornerback larger with the commitment of Arkansas transfer Jaheim Singletary on Thursday. Singletary becomes the 43rd transfer for the Cyclones this offseason, and the ninth in Jimmy Rogers’ secondary.
Hayes Fawcett of On3 first reported the move on Thursday.
Singletary, a four-star prospect out of Riverside High School in Jacksonville, Florida, is a two-time transfer with three seasons of SEC experience and tremendous upside moving over to the Big 12. The 6-foot-2, 200-pound cornerback made nine solo tackles for the Razorbacks as a redshirt junior in 2025.
Singletary, having recorded 54 career tackles at Arkansas following his redshirt season at Georgia in 2022, enters the cornerback room with a slight edge experience-wise on fellow transfers Tyrone Cotton III (Washington State), Seth Johnson (Montana State), Trillion Sorrell (Washington State) and Keyon Washington (Bowling Green).
Iowa State’s defense, under the direction of Washington State transplant Jesse Bobbit, is in for quite the offseason makeover after losing 28 players (over half of the Cyclones’ 55 total outgoing transfers) from the 2025 defense under newly retired Jon Heacock.
The Cyclones ranked 83rd nationally in pass defense (233.7 ypg) in 2025.
