Overview
- The redshirt junior had his non-throwing left shoulder labrum repaired and an AC joint issue addressed, according to ESPN's Pete Thamel.
- Thamel reported Becht is projected to make a full recovery within months and be ready for the 2026 season.
- He suffered the injury on Oct. 4 but started all 12 regular-season games, finishing with 2,584 passing yards, 16 touchdowns and nine interceptions.
- Iowa State declined a bowl invitation to prioritize the surgery and was fined $500,000 by the Big 12.
- With one year of eligibility remaining, Becht is weighing whether to return or enter the transfer portal as coaching changes, including Matt Campbell’s move to Penn State and Iowa State’s hire of Jimmy Rogers, spur outside speculation.
