Iowa State football running back Carson Hansen announced on Dec. 23 that he "will be pursuing new opportunities with my last year of eligibility."

Hansen is the latest Cyclones star to indicate that he will transfer to another school in the wake of coach Matt Campbell's departure to Penn State. Quarterback Rocco Becht and cornerbacks Jeremiah Cooper and Jontez Williams are among the other Iowa State standouts leaving Ames.

Hansen, a native of Lakeville, Minn., rushed for 952 yards on 188 carries during his junior season with the Cyclones. In three years with Iowa State, he compiled 1,771 yards and 19 touchdowns on the ground.
