Breece Hall is officially two-thirds of the way to being a consensus All-American.



Hall was named a first-team All-American on Tuesday by The Sporting News, which is one of the five selectors considered for NCAA recognized consensus status. He was joined on the teams by linebacker Mike Rose, who earned a second-team nod.



Hall, who was named a first-team All-American by the Associated Press on Monday, led FBS football with 1,436 yards rushing as a sophomore while scoring 19 touchdowns on the ground and 21 total touchdowns, which tied the single-season school record previously set by Troy Davis, who is the only other Cyclone to earn The Sporting News All-American honors, which he did in 1995...
