Submitted by admin on Fri, 04/26/2013 - 2:51pm

Levi Peters is finally back on the football field. Peters, a Gilmore City native and former Twin River Valley and Fort Dodge High standout, is enjoying an injury-free spring of playing football for Iowa State University. Peters underwent knee surgery twice in 2011 and enrolled at Iowa State that fall as a part-time student, not to use up any athletic eligibility. Then a year ago, on the third day of spring practice, he broke a bone in his foot and the surgery and resulting down time all but forced him to red-shirt in 2012. He’s finally healthy and paying his dues in spring ball. Peters and the Cyclones will wrap up spring ball with their annual spring game this Saturday (April 20) at Jack Trice Stadium in Ames. “It’s good. It’s very competitive. It’s fun putting the pads on. I haven’t had live football since my senior year of high school. I got hurt on the third practice last spring.

The Hokies finished the year unbeaten in the Atlantic Coast Conference duals and also won the ACC tournament title.
