Iowa State linebackers recognized nationally



 
It's a big day for seniors A.J. Klein and Jake Knott. The pair play as linebackers for the Iowa State Cyclones, rated second in the nation for linebackers by Lindy's College Football Preview, the only Big 12 school in the rankings. However, it gets more interesting for the duo. A.J. Klein was named the second best inside linebacker in the nation, after only Manti Te'o of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Jake Knott was named seventh best linebacker in the nation, as well.

Congrats, guys!
