Preseason All American Selections

Kollar 2020
Mackey Finalist 
 
There are only three unanimous All-America selections this preseason with Iowa State running back Breece Hall, Oregon defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux and LSU cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. receiving first-team votes from all participants. Hall is also one of three players back as a first-team selection from the 2020 postseason team. Ohio State defensive tackle Haskell Garrett and Northwestern safety Brandon Joseph are the others.  Hall is considered a long odds Heisman Trophy Candidate. 

Breece Hall - 2021/2022 Heisman Trophy Candidate

Breece Hall 2020 Doak Walker Finalist
Coming off a mesmerizing 23-touchdown sophomore season, Breece Hall is poised to win the Doak Walker Award this fall as one of the leaders within a veteran-laden offense for the Cyclones. The top draft prospect at the position depending on who you ask, Hall does not have a weakness in his game and 
Hall is Iowa State's first-ever unanimous All-American in program history. Hall was the leading rusher in the FBS during the 2020 season, racking up 1,572 yards on the ground and became the first running back since LaDainian Tomlinson to rush for 100-plus yards with a rushing touchdown in seven consecutive games to start a season. Hall also notched 23 catches for 180 yards and two touchdowns.  In 2020 Breece had a season to remember leading the FBS in rushing (1,572) as he rushed for 100 or more yards nine times.   He also was second in rushing touchdowns (21) only behind Alabama's Najee Harris.   But, perhaps the most impressive stat was his 935 yards after contact (Akin to David Montgomery), which led the nation.
