That is awesome! It's great to see a guy have a brutal injury like that and pick himself up and do something else. He was really good.
I was afraid I was going to open this thread and find another player off that team had died, to be honest.

A gen ed soc class for me, I was put into a group of 3 with Deandre and Reggie George (bball).
Midterms come out. Reggie brings it up and says he get a F and a D, and asked me how I was doing. I said a C- in physics but I'll be allright. He fist bumped me. I asked DeAndre how he was doing and his response was gold: F's, six F's. I sat there a little stunned until Reggie started laughing, then we all did.

DeAndre and Hobbs were two of my favorite Cyclone secondary. I remember when he and Hicks were done feeling the same way I felt about losing Seneca and the Jake Knott/AJK duo, irreplaceable.

Steve "Greedy" Paris. The good old days when there was a B12 North and it sucked.
He was a super nice guy and really humble. That secondary was honestly the best one in my lifetime IMO.

Carper was an OLB. Missing Moser from the list earlier. Talk about a guy that was always in the right position for an int or fumble. The ball always bounced his way
DJ and Marcus Robertson were 2 of the best athletes playing CB at ISU that I can ever remember. Hobbs was a prototypical NFL CB body type and a tough kid. Robertson got drafted by the Yankees out of high school and that dude was an athlete.
It's too bad DJ got hampered by injury because he would have had a LONG NFL career IMO.

I believe DeAndre Jackson got hurt on a kickoff return against Oklahoma. The team needed all the offense it could get that year. Definitely agree with the props to Jackson, Hobbs, Moser, Paris, Hickd.
Did Adam Carper have a career ending injury also his sophomore year?

I remember the kickoff return where DeAndre went down. I was always bitter about it. It was mentioned in the AP game story from the Oct 24, 2006 game at Norman, but the detail was omitted:

Adrian Peterson's broken collar bone stole the headlines that day. And OU LB Rufus Alexander stole the show when ISU had the ball. Rufus was also responsible for the hit that ended DeAndre's career. That is putting it in the most positive possible light, though.
Sometimes memory will trick you, but here is what I remember... DeAndre put up a decent return on the kickoff in question. Maybe back to the 35, and was surrounded by defenders. Then when most returners would've gone down, he made that one last effort (mortal sin) to wiggle free. At that moment Rufus came in low for the tackle when DeAnfre's foot was planted firmly. Again, that is putting it in a positive light. At the time, I saw the his as cheap and unnecessary. I thought Rufus was targeting DeAndre's knee, although I don't think there was a penalty. The football insisted it was clean, but I insist he could easily have been brought down another way. Does anyone recall this differently?
