He had 116 tackles, 7.5 tackles for a loss, six passes broken up, two sacks and an interception in 2011. Klein was better than expected at the Combine.

Jake Knott, OLB, Iowa State
Height: 6-3. Weight: 239. Arm: 31.08.
Projected 40 Time: 4.72.
Projected Round (2013): 6-FA.
4/24/13: Knott recorded 79 tackles, two interceptions, two forced fumbles and six passes broken up in 2012, but missed the final five games.

8/29/12: Knott had a strong junior season with 115 tackles, four forced fumbles and two interceptions. The team captain was a First-Team All-Big XII selection.

Knott broke out with a fabulous sophomore season, recording 130 tackles, four interceptions, four forced fumbles and five passes broken up. He is a smart, instinctive defender who looks a little lacking in the physical-skills department.
