All-Time Iowa State Team...

[johnsonjj]

Alex Espinosa should be in the discussion. Dwayne Crutchfield and Blaise Bryant after the davis boys. The best reciever I have ever seen in an Iowa State uniform is Tracy Henderson.

I will never forget Espinoza getting in trouble for jumping out of the back of a pick-up in campus town and getting into a fight. His quotes later in the paper were something akin to "I have to remember I am in Iowa can't do that here. That was normal where I am from (cali if I remember correctly.)

I evidently don't go back as far as you do, but here's my vote...but I for the most part have fairly recent players:

QB: Wallace, Archer, Rosenfels
RB: Troy Davis, Ennis Haywood, Crutchfield, Blaise Bryant, Joe Henderson
WR: Tracy Henderson, Horacek, Groce
WR: Danielsen, Lester, Chris Anthony
WR: Blythe, Ed Williams, JJ Moses
TE: Busch, Krepfle, Banks
OT: Karl Nelson, Ross, Kohn, Brant, Stensrud, Marsau
OG: Sims, Williams, Reimers, Lo White
OC: Bruns, Augafa, Butler, Stephenson

DE: Hayward, Berryman, DeRonde, Moorehead
DT: Stensrud, Carstens, Reed, Leaders, Randall, Curvey
LB: Blair, Dobbins, Gibson, Boskey, Goodwin, Shane, Bowen
CB: Robertson, Hobbs, Hicks, LJ, Deandre Jackson
S: DouBrava, Billups, Moser, Paris, Arnaud, Avey

PR: McMillan, Moses, Todd Miller
KR: Hobbs, LJ, Branch, Milan Moses

K: Shudak, Kohl, Benike
P: Harris, Johnston, Brandtner

I know Simms played Guard in the pros, but wasn't he a LT at ISU?

I did a search, but didn't find a thread for the best Iowa State football players of all time. I'm looking to assemble an entire team. I need Name (obviously), Number, and Position. It would be good to go at least 2 deep.

Post your submission and I will update the list as we go.

Thanks!

QB Alex Espanoza
HB Troy Davis, Blaise Bryant
FB Joe Henderson
TE Jeff Wadka
WR Dennis Ross
WR Tracy Henderson
Tackle Keith Sims
Tackle Gene William
Gaurd Rick Wells
Gaurd Vince Jasper
Center

Maybe I missed him running through all the posts, but I don't see leaving Dave Hoppman off an all-time list for Iowa State.

Todd Doxson are you serious Clark?

Todd Doxzon was actually a 4 year starter at Quarterback (1993-1996 seasons). It was his tryout with...I think it was the New York Giants... at Wide reciever that ultimately landed him a job in the NFL abck at his QB position. His 40 time of 4.1 seconds flat was timed twice. He played at least one season listed as the second string QB backup to Dan Marino. Because of Marino's durability, he never saw a snap in a NFL pro regular season game.

It is MY contention that Troy Davis would not have been as successful as he was without:
1. Patrick Agufa, an offensive lineman with an exceptionally long and stocky body and short legs that allowed him to leverage just about anyone enough so that he could create a seam for Troy, OR pile in with Troy and help him drive the pile an extra 5 yards.
2a. The seldom used threat of speed from Todd Doxzon (he was known to be fast, but no one in the public knew about the 4.1 second 40 until the NFL scouts timed him).
2b. though Todd Doxzon was signed to ISU as a wishbone QB, he occaisionally had shown some accuracy passing.

I really question this.

No way does Danielson make that list and no Blythe, the guy hold every receiver record known to man at ISU, may have been a ****** but he was good.
