Kid had a monster game and he was due for one. And this won't be the last. Also, Gholston should have been credited with another sack.

Well deserved. The guy gets far less publicity than he should for what he has produced during his career.

 

[FreddyUI]

AN was a beast. Great game and well deserved honor.

 

[DutchyFunStar]

So did they start chipping him with a TE or just stopped being shy about holding after he got 3 quick sacks?

 

[Stormn Norman]

That’s is a big man with a big motor! Congrats

Love Golston, long and lean and never stops pursuing. He will spell Nelson as needed which just makes better as the season grinds on.

Way to go Anthony Nelson! He has produced every year and he continues to get even better. What a solid player for us. Love Golston and Epenesa too. Serious athletes on our DL.

Anthony is going to get a nice paycheck in the NFL. I just hope it isn't next year!

IIRC he was an ISU commit until Iowa offered.

Per his recruiting timeline on 247sports, that is correct.
