Himmelman, McKnight Earn Sophomore All-America Honors From HERO Sports

NORMAL, Ill. – Illinois State left tackle Drew Himmelman and defensive end Romeo McKnight picked up postseason accolades Tuesday, as the duo was named to the HERO Sports FCS Sophomore All-America team Tuesday by the organization. Himmelman and McKnight were both selected as first-team members on the prestigious list.

Himmelman was honored as a HERO Sports FCS Freshman All-American honors last season after a stellar freshman campaign. The Geneseo, Illinois, native followed that up with a strong sophomore campaign that saw him earn All-Missouri Valley Conference second-team honors. Himmelman started all 11 games at left tackle and was a critical part of the offensive line unit that made ISU the third-highest scoring offense in the conference.
