McCarney, Blythe, Meyer Earn Pre-Season Honors from Athlon

Athlon has picked junior WR, Todd Blythe, as a pre-season third team All-American
June 6, 2006

AMES, Iowa - Iowa State head football coach Dan McCarney was tabbed among the five most underrated head coaches in college football by Athlon Sports' Big 12 Football Preview magazine. Iowa State wide receiver Todd Blythe of Indianola was named a third-team preseason All-American and Bret Meyer was tabbed as the top quarterback in the Big 12 Conference.

McCarney was recognized along with Tom O'Brien of Boston College, Wake Forest's Jim Grobe, Northwestern's Randy Walker and Guy Morris of Baylor. The magazine said that "McCarney's rebuilding job -- he's led the Cyclones to a bowl game in five of its last six seasons -- rivals what Bill Snyder did at Kansas State."

In addition to being named a third-team All-American, Athlon cited the junior with a school record 18 touchdown catches for the all-Big 12 first-team along with Meyer, senior offensive tackle Aaron Brant and senior kick returner DeAndre Jackson. Cyclone defensive tackle Brent "Big Play" Curvey was a second-team all-Big 12 choice.

Athlon picks Iowa State as the third-place finisher in the Big 12 North Division.

A program isn't built on one player and it doesn't succeed because of one player, thus a program won't fail if it doesn't get that one player.

Really, third team? Wow, I can't think of too many WRs that are better. But I guess some recognition is better than none.



Great to see Meyer getting the props.

I can't believe Curvey is not first team all big 12 and there is no mention of Deandre,Flynn, Stephenson and Brant. I hope that puts a luittle extra motivation for those kids this summer.

Go Cyclones!
