Iowa State holder Kyle Starcevich saved the final fireworks Saturday for the postgame huddle at midfield of Jack Trice Stadium thanks to some help from head coach Matt Campbell.

When Campbell found out that Starcevich was going to propose to his longtime girlfriend and high school sweetheart Tori Monroe, who works in the Iowa State football offices, he came up with a plan that could play out at the conclusion of the annual spring game.

"Coach Campbell had the idea to bring her up and kind of recognize her because she works in the office. We brought her up front and he wanted to give her a fake award and I was going to present it to her. He brought her up and said she’s a great worker and this and that," Starcevich said. "She had no idea. She thought she was going to get a job or something and I ended up proposing and I thought it went pretty well."

Teammates reminded Starcevich of the big moment during the game while one of the trainers held the ring in her training pad. And the moment went according to play.

"High school sweethearts. We met going into the summer of senior year of high school. We’ve been together almost five years now. It all worked out perfectly," Starcevich said. "We both came to Iowa State and we’re both graduating in December. Just the perfect time right now to pop the question. It went perfect."

And Campbell was thrilled to see the moment too.

"Probably the biggest storyline is Kyle and Tori," Campbell said afterward. "They’ve dated for five years. Tori has worked in out football office since I’ve been here and Kyle Starcivich, an unbelievable kid, obviously Tory a great girl and it’s great to see those two. High school sweethearts getting engaged, so we’ll see if Jack Trice brings them a little luck."
