Recent Transfer Portal Update: Iowa State Loses Starter and Two Others
Dishon Jackson, a starter for Iowa State this past season, has entered the transfer portal, marking a brief stint with the Cyclones. Jackson was one of four Iowa State players to declare for the portal on Monday, the first day it opened.
Along with Jackson, JT Rock, Kayden Fish, and Demarion Watson also placed their names in the portal, according to multiple sources.
Jackson is the most prominent of the group, having averaged over 20 minutes per game this season, with 8.5 points and five rebounds. This move comes after Jackson’s third stop in his college career, following stints at Washington State and Charlotte.

While Jackson could have returned to Iowa State for another season, he joins fellow seniors-to-be Joshua Jefferson and Tamin Lipsey, who were all on the floor when the Cyclones were eliminated by Ole Miss in the NCAA Tournament’s second round.

Watson, a junior from Minnesota, saw limited action this season, averaging two points and two rebounds in just nine minutes per game.
Rock and Fish, both redshirt freshmen, also decided to leave the program. Rock was one of the few 7-footers to join Iowa State, while Fish played in nine games during the season. They join Omaha Biliew from the 2023 recruiting class in parting ways with the team.
