Whatever It Takes: Lake Stevens QB Blake Moser Commits to Iowa State Football
The All State Viking star was offered a scholarship at a wide receiver by the Big 12’s Iowa State Cyclones earlier this week, during a skills camp in Ames, IA.
BLAKE MOSER, the All State QB for the Lake Stevens (WA) Vikings committed to the Iowa State Cyclones today, where Head Coach Jimmy Rogers offered the 2027 star Monday, after recruiting the Viking signal caller as both a quarterback and a wide receiver.
The BIG 12 Conference offer was Moser’s fifth since February — and the Lake Stevens star told J425 of his commitment earlier today.
“I did a lot of thinking — and I trusted my instinct — and I decided the time was right to commit,” Moser said.
“Cyclone Nation — I’m headed your way — and I’m ready to do Whatever it Takes to win,” Moser told J425 Friday, invoking two of Iowa State’s signature slogans.
Keeping the “whatever it takes” mantra front of mind, Moser said his visit to Ames, Iowa earlier this week was decisive. The Cyclones worked Moser out at receiver, defensive back and quarterback.
Ultimately, the Cyclones’ head coach Jimmy Rogers offered Moser as a wide receiver, a position Moser played on an emergency basis — with huge success — in the 2024 playoffs. Moser, who boast a 4.37 40-time, is excited for the challenge that lies ahead in Ames.
Born to Catch: Moser’s Sophomore Star Turn
Moser’s only high school experience as a wideout came during his sophomore campaign, and the opportunity arose due to necessity. Late in the 2024 season, a total of four Viking wideouts were lost to injury heading into the playoffs.
Moser — then the QB2 and punter — was pressed into action as a slot WR in the Viks’ playoff run. Moser’s first touch was a fly sweep that went for a 28-yard touchdown against Tahoma.
He scored twice in his wideout debut and went on to lead the team in receiving through the playoffs, despite no previous experience at the position.
Moser returned to quarterback in 2025 and reeled off an All State campaign that garnered the QB four scholarship offers from Big Sky programs.
Yet Moser selected the Cyclones offer, telling J425 that he was confident in his ability to succeed at receiver early in his career, thanks in part to a Cyclone coaching staff with whom Moser vibed immediately.
