Two More Consensus All Americans (there's only been 25 in Iowa Football History)

[Franisdaman]

What a day it was for Josey Jewell and Josh Jackson.

The standout Iowa defenders became the 24th and 25th consensus All-Americans in Iowa Hawkeye football history, with the duo appearing as first-team selections on the USA TODAY, Associated Press and Football Writers Association of America All-American teams released Monday.

Previously, Jewell and Jackson were also first-team selections on the Walter Camp All-American team.

It’s a feat that has not occurred for the Hawkeyes program since 2003. This year marks the fifth time in program history that a pair of Hawkeyes earned consensus All-America honors in the same season. Jewell and Jackson join Robert Gallery and Nate Kaeding (2003), Eric Steinbach and Dallas Clark (2002), Chuck Long and Larry Station (1985) and Andre Tippett and Reggie Roby (1981) as other pairings to earn consensus All-American status in the same season.

What is such a shame is that any other time we had 2 first team selections, we either played in the Rose Bowl, Orange Bowl or finished in the Top 8 in the country.

A season of “what if’s”

It was all about the offense...or lack of it. The defense was solid despite having little offensive support most of the season, with a couple amazing exceptions. It's a shame we'll never know how great the defense would have been if the O had done its share.

Nonetheless, great to see Josey and Josh keep receiving the recognition they have earned.

Only 25 consensus AAs in Iowa football history???......


Fire the coaching staff for lack of reaching fan expectations for consensus All-Americans.

And I think someone posted earlier that we only had 2 AAs the same year 5 times.


3 times have been under KF.
