The 2025 college football season got underway with a highly entertaining and hard-fought battle in Dublin last month, featuring the Iowa State Cyclones outlasting the Kansas State Wildcats 24-21. These two Big 12 schools have played each other every year since 1917 in a game known as Farmageddon, a tribute to the two schools’ well-known land-grant roots. But this year, with the game in Ireland, some called it Farm O’Geddon.

As always, there were some fun player names on both sides of the ball, including Cody Stufflebean of the Wildcats and Domonique “Big Citrus” Orange for the Cyclones. While other publications may compile a list of the best players at each position, it has become an annual feature here at the Washington Examiner to compile a list of the best names at each position. Enjoy!
