Iowa State’s Mitchell Meyers to wrap up chemo on Friday

Iowa State Cyclones defensive lineman Mitchell Meyers was diagnosed with Hodgkins’ lymphoma in February, but is on the road to recovery. Speaking to Suzanne Halliburton of the Austin American-Statesman, head coach Paul Rhoads revealed that Meyers will undergo his final round of chemotherapy on Friday.

“I want to take this opportunity to talk about a young man by the name of Mitchell Meyers,” Rhoads said. Mitchell was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma this past January. … During that time, this entire summer, he hasn’t missed a workout with our football team and with his teammates, going through six months of chemotherapy.
