AMES, Iowa – Iowa State sophomore tight end Charlie Kolar was named to the 2019 Academic All-America Division I Football First Team, announced today by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).

The CoSIDA Academic All-America Football Team recognizes the nation’s top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom. Kolar is the first Cyclone football player to earn Academic All-America accolades since 2002 (Jordan Carstens- first team; Jack Whitver- second team).

A native of Norman, Okla., Kolar is one of the best tight ends in the nation. The sophomore is producing one of the best seasons by a tight end in school history, leading all Big 12 tight ends in receptions (48), receiving yards (675) and receiving touchdowns (7).

His 675 receiving yards is a school record by a tight end.

Kolar’s yards per game average (56.3) and touchdown reception (7) totals rank in the top-five nationally among FBS tight ends.

Kolar, who has five 70+ yard receiving games, has been a key target for Brock Purdy, recording 36 catches for first downs or touchdowns and has three receptions resulting in fourth down conversions.

In the classroom, Kolar is just as stellar. The two-time First Team Academic All-Big 12 selection holds a cumulative 3.98 GPA in mechanical engineering. He won the team GPA Award during the 2018-19 school year with a perfect 4.0 GPA.

No. 16 Seton Hall lost much more than a game in Ames, as starter Sandro Mamukelashvili broke his right wrist in the first half of a loss at Iowa State.Tyrese Haliburton scored 17 points, George Conditt had a season-high 17 off the bench and the Cyclones knocked off 16th-ranked Seton Hall 76-66 on Sunday for its second straight victory.Rasir Bolton scored 15 of his 17 points in the second half to help the Cyclones avenge an 84-76 loss on Nov. 29 to the Pirates (6-3) in the Bahamas.

Coach Kevin Willard said after the game that it was too soon to know how long Mamukelashvili might be out. “I don’t know for sure. It’s definitely broken. But we … have to go get an MRI tomorrow and let our doctors and radiologists read it,” Willard said. “There’s definitely a break in there, it’s just that we don’t know where it is.”

Seton Hall committed 20 turnovers and was outrebounded 43-40 despite having a major size advantage. The Pirates also gave Iowa State 33 tries from the line, and Cyclones made 26 of them. The Cyclones have been strangely awful at times this season shooting jump shots — even though they supposedly have enough shooters. It’s a problem that Iowa State will need to get sorted out before it threatens to sink their season. On the plus side, the Cyclones were active with their hands in forcing Seton Hall’s bigs to turn it over, and Haliburton delivered yet another signature performance.
POLL IMPLICATIONS
Losing on the road to a Big 12 team that had the opportunity to play them 10 days ago shouldn’t cost the Pirates too much. Iowa State’s Hilton Coliseum can be a brutal place for opponents — especially one that didn’t necessarily know what it was walking into.

Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press

AMES, Iowa (AP) — No. 16 Seton Hall lost much more than a game in Ames, as starter Sandro Mamukelashvili broke his right wrist in the first half of a loss at Iowa State.Tyrese Haliburton scored 17 points, George Conditt had a season-high 17 off the bench and the Cyclones knocked off 16th-ranked Seton Hall 76-66 on Sunday for its second straight victory.Rasir Bolton scored 15 of his 17 points in the second half to help the Cyclones avenge an 84-76 loss on Nov. 29 to the Pirates (6-3) in the Bahamas.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — The University of Iowa says its former athletic director Bump Elliott has died. He was 94. Elliott was a star halfback at Michigan who won the Big Ten’s MVP award in 1947. Elliott became Michigan’s coach in 1959 and led the Wolverines for 10 seasons, a tenure that included a Rose Bowl win in 1964. Elliott, who was the Hawkeyes’ athletic director from 1970-1991, was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1989.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Bashaud Breeland knocked away Tom Brady’s fourth-down pass to Julian Edelman in the end zone and the Kansas City Chiefs survived a series of mistakes and questionable calls by the officials to hold off the New England Patriots 23-16. Combined with Oakland’s loss to Tennessee the Chiefs clinched the AFC West title. The loss ends the Patriots’ 21-game home win streak in the regular season and playoffs, was tied for the longest in team history. It was the third-longest string in NFL history.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Revolutionary players’ union leader Marvin Miller was elected to baseball’s Hall of Fame along with former St. Louis Cardinals catcher Ted Simmons. Miller empowered players to negotiate multimillion-dollar contracts and to play for teams of their own choosing. Miller died at age 95 in 2012. He led the Major League Baseball Players Association from 1966-82. He helped players gain the right to free agency after six seasons of big league service, to salary arbitration and to grievance arbitration. He led the union through five work stoppages and was an adviser during three more after he retired.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Ted Simmons can thank WAR, on-base percentage and other modern measures of baseball players for helping him reach the Hall of Fame 31 years after he retired. The eight-time All-Star catcher was elected to the Hall of Fame by a veterans committee after falling one vote short two years ago. Simmons received 13 of 16 votes when the modern era committee gathered ahead of the winter meetings. Also elected was former players union chief Marvin Miller. Simmons was primarily a catcher in a 21-year big league career spent with St. Louis, Milwaukee and Atlanta.

UNDATED (AP) — In case you missed it in Week 14 of the NFL regular season: Jimmy Garoppolo turned in a confidence-building, career-burnishing performance to help the San Francisco 49ers come back to edge Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints 48-46 in a thrill-a-minute game. And Jimmy G. seems to be heating up just as Tom Terrific appears to be slowing down. Another top topic after Sunday’s games was the way Tom Brady and the rest of New England’s offense looked in a 23-16 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The Patriots were hurt by three bad officiating calls.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri has reached an agreement with Eliah Drinkwitz to take over the Tigers’ once-proud football program, a person familiar with the hiring tells The Associated Press. The 36-year-old Drinkwitz will become the second-youngest Power Five coach behind Oklahoma’s Lincoln Riley. He will replace Barry Odom. He has only one season of head coaching experience, this past season at Appalachian State. His team went 12-1 and won the Sun Belt title. The Mountaineers will play UAB in the New Orleans Bowl on Dec. 21.

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Tyson Etienne scored 19 points and had four assists to help lead Wichita State to an 80-61 victory over Oklahoma State. Erik Stevenson had 13 points and six rebounds, while Jaime Echenique also scored 13 points for Wichita State. Jamarius Burton contributed seven points, eight rebounds and 11 assists.

The New England Patriots have lost at home for the first time since the 2017 season. The Kansas City Chiefs beat the Patriots 23-17 at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. The Chiefs dominated the game but the Patriots hung. close and Tom Brady had them on the cusp of the end zone when his fourth-down pass to Julian Edelman was batted away by Bashaud Breeland.

The Chiefs are the first team to beat Tom Brady and Bill Belichick in New England since the Carolina Panthers beat them 33-30 on Oct. 1, 2017. The Chiefs dominated the game but the Patriots hung close and Tom Brady had them on the cusp of the end zone when his fourth-down pass to Julian Edelman was batted away by Bashaud Breeland with just over a minute remaining.

It was Chiefs coach Andy Reid’s 100th career road win as well as the second straight loss for the Patriots, who fell to 10-3. Patriots fans can take heart, however.  New England also lost back-to-back games last December, when they came up short in Miami and Pittsburgh in Weeks 14 and 15. They wouldn’t lose again as they routed the Bills and Jets to finish 11-5, then beat the Chargers, Chiefs and Rams to claim their sixth Super Bowl championship.

The Kansas City Chiefs are without two of their leading rushers for their showdown against the New England Patriots. The Chiefs placed Darrel Williams on IR with a pulled hamstring and Damien Williams is inactive with a hamstring injury. The Chiefs have plenty of options in the rematch of last year’s AFC title game. Those include LeSean McCoy, Darwin Thompson and Spencer Ware.

Iowa State and the University of Iowa found out their destinations for bowl games Sunday. According to KCCI, on Dec. 28th in Orlando, Florida, Iowa State University will be playing in the Camping World Bowl against Notre Dame.

Iowa will be playing the University of Southern California on Dec. 27 at the Holiday Bowl in San Diego. Iowa found out its final ranking Sunday, finishing at No. 16 in the College Football Playoff Rankings.

No. 7 Oregon will face No. 11 Wisconsin in the 106th edition of the Rose Bowl. The Ducks are in the Granddaddy of Them All for the fourth time in 11 seasons. The Badgers are making the trip to Pasadena for the fourth time in 10 seasons. Oregon won the Pac-12 title by beating Utah in the championship game. Wisconsin edged out Penn State for the Rose Bowl trip thanks to its solid performance in its Big Ten title game loss to playoff-bound Ohio State.
