Nate Heise says the chance to play on a bigger stage is why he decided to transfer to Iowa State. Heise spent the past four years at Northern Iowa and led the Panthers in scoring at 13-and-a-half points per game this past season before making the decision to enter the transfer portal.
Summer workouts are underway in Ames and Heise is trying to carve out a roll on a team that has its top four scorers returning from a team that made it to the Sweet-16 of the NCAA Tournament.
Heise says his experience has helped with the transition.
Heise says the chance to join a team that will likely be top five in the preseason polls was intriguing.
Iowa State coach T.J. Otzelberger felt Heise was a good fit for the program.
Otzelberger feels Heise will be a factor at both ends of the court.
