Random ISU FB player you remember

Ryan Sloth from Belmond - a walk on that ended up starting at corner and was a great special teams player. The roster listed him at 5'8" but I'm 5'8" and I towered over him. He was realistically around 5'4" which makes it even more impressive that he started as a Big 12 cornerback.

Played basketball against him in high school. He was probably the only kid in the county that was faster than me. He later wrote children's books and was an extra in a few football movies like We Are Marshall and Leatherheads. No idea what he is up to these days.
 
David Archer QB from the 80’s. I remember him for playing with Atlanta Falcons and for trying to impress my sister when she was an undergrad and he was a student there. She shot him down. She did not follow football and had no idea who David Archer was when he told her.

Story gave me a good laugh when she told me a few years later.

Kelly Goodburn.

He went on to solid career as punter in the NFL.

In high school he was QB in our (now defunct) conference. I didn't compete against him directly, he was senior when I was freshman and I wasn't in FB that year and didn't play any minutes in varsity BB.

I have vivid memories of him kicking xp’s onto/over the Jacobson building.. and he would have kickoffs go through the uprights.


….and he would get seemingly half his kicks blocked.

Jeff Brazwell. He was a monster at linebacker. Only got to play one year because the NCAA screwed him over. He was on the short side so not an NFL guy but one heck of a college football player

Tracy Henderson was such a great receiver. Wish he would have stayed one more year. There were reasons he didn't.

Jordan Carstons was one of my favorites. If I remember right he was a walk on that ended up in the NFL.
 
Glad someone mentioned Rashawn Parker. I had a class with him. He had (presumably still does) an energy that drew people in.

Also had a speech class with Jessan Grey, SF for Morgan after transferring in from Indiana. I remember being impressed by a speech he gave about NCAA class requirements. He also was a nice dude.

Also Jon Davis. I witnessed a random classmate directly approach him and ask when he was going to stop dropping the ball. He handled it better than I would have.
 
During the CF after dark Litecast, they started bringing up random players they remember. Here are a few random ones that came to my head.

Demond Tucker - DL - 2015 to 2016? He was really quick for a DT, but kind of fizzled out his senior year.

Jeremiah Schwartz - RB, I remember a coach calling him "a rolling ball of butcher knives". He started at the Nebraska win in Lincoln (8 TO game) but never did much. I think he transferred to Ohio or something.

Brett Medders - had a few big catches in the win against Iowa back in 2014? I think he is Lindsey Fennelly's brother.

Do you have any random ISU football players that stick in your head and what you remember them for?
