IRVING, Texas – Four Iowa State defensive players – JaQuan Bailey (DE), Ray Lima (DL), Greg Eisworth (S) and Marcel Spears Jr. (LB) – made the 2019 Preseason All-Big 12 Football Team, announced today by the Big 12 Conference.
The team was chosen by media representatives who cover the league.
Iowa State’s four representatives on the team ties for second behind Oklahoma’s five.
Bailey is one of the greatest defensive ends in school history. The two-time All-Big 12 selection, including a second-teamer in 2018, is currently tied with Shawn Moorehead for the most career sacks in Iowa State history (18.5). His 18.5 career sacks ranks third among active NCAA FBS players.
A native of Jacksonville, Fla., Bailey has started the last 33 games in his Cyclone career. His 31.5 career TFL ranks fifth in school history and is 2.5 shy from the school record.
In 2018, Bailey led the team and ranked fourth in the Big 12 in sacks (8.0), the third-best season total in school history. He also led the team in TFL, registering the ninth-best season total in the Cyclone record book at 14.5.
Lima has been one of the key cogs in Iowa State’s resurgence on defense the past two seasons as one of the best run-stoppers in the nation.
The Los Angeles, Calif., native is a two-time All-Big 12 selection and was a first-team all-league choice by ESPN in 2018.
The 2018 co-captain has started 21 games and recorded 59 tackles and 8.0 TFL in his career.
Eisworth, a native of Grand Prairie, Texas, had and outstanding debut season for the Cyclones in 2018, earning Big 12 Defensive Newcomer of the year accolades and First-Team All-Big 12 recognition.
Eisworth started 12 games and led the Cyclones in tackles per game (7.2) to rank eighth in the Big 12.
He led the team in tackles in five of 12 games played and registered 4.0 TFL, an interception and two forced fumbles.
Spears has started every game of the last two seasons, earning Honorable Mention All-Big 12 accolades in 2017 and 2018.
A native of Olathe, Kan., Spears enters his senior season with 180 tackles, 16.5 TFL, 3.5 sacks and four interceptions in his career. Three times in his career he’s been named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week.
Spears is one of three active FBS linebackers with two pick-sixes in his career. He also has four career double-digit tackle games and two of his interceptions have sealed victories for the Cyclones in the fourth quarter.

CLEVELAND (AP) _ Make it seven straight wins for the American League in the All-Star Game.
Joey Gallo’s solo homer in the seventh inning gave the AL a 4-1 lead before the junior circuit hung on for a 4-3 win over the National League in Cleveland.
The story for the American League was on the mound as nine hurlers each threw one inning and combined to allow just five hits while striking out 16. Indians hurler and game MVP Shane Bieber gave the local fans a thrill by striking out the side in the fifth. Liam Hendriks and Aroldis Chapman also fanned three in their one inning of work.
Former Indian Michael Brantley opened the scoring with an RBI double off loser Clayton Kershaw, scoring Astros teammate Alex Bregman. Gary Sanchez began the junior circuit’s second rally by leading off the fifth with a double before scoring on Jorge Polanco’s single.
Charlie Blackmon put the NL on the board with a two-out homer in the sixth, but the AL regained control on a run-scoring double-play grounder and a solo homer by Joey Gallo. The insurance runs came in handy once Home Run Derby winner Pete Alonso delivered a two-run single in the eighth.
Masahiro Tanaka (mah-sah-HEE’-roh tah-NAH’-kah) worked a scoreless second to get the win.
The American League leads the overall series, 45-43-2.
Indians right-hander Carlos Carrasco was saluted in the fifth inning of the All-Star Game during Major League Baseball’s “Stand Up to Cancer” campaign after being recently diagnosed with a form of leukemia. Carrasco had been feeling fatigued in May, and was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia following an exam at the Cleveland Clinic.
He has been cleared to resume conditioning and throwing activities to the extent he can tolerate them.

(Radio Iowa) — The deadline to register for FEMA disaster relief is now less than one week away. FEMA spokesperson Pamela King says they’d like you to register as soon as you can before the July 16th deadline. She says you need to have an inspection of your property to determine what has been lost or damaged and there needs to be time for the inspectors to get there. King says you can register online.
“We recommend that people if they can go onto disasterassistance.gov and you can find out what you need to have ahead of time, before you start the disaster assistance process,” King says. She says some people don’t register because their damage may look like it is less than their neighbors. King says it’s best to have it checked out to be sure.
“Let FEMA come out and do the inspection and decide if its an eligible amount,” King says. “Sometimes it what looks like it is okay today — there could be water that’s gotten into the foundations and things like that and you could have problems down the road.” King says some people don’t sign up because of a mistaken understanding of the money they will get.
She says some people also think the grant money is going to interfere with other money they receive like Social Security or Medicare. “The grant does not count against any other assistance,” she says, “it’s not considered income that would make people lose any other coverage that they have.” King says 26-hundred-44 people in Iowa have already registered.
She says they have already paid out more than 14 million dollars in assistance to Iowans. The disaster registration deadline is again July 16th and those residents of the nine counties designated as federal disaster areas are eligible.
The Taylor County Sheriff’s Office has charged an additional suspect in an ongoing narcotics distribution investigation. Authorities say 19-year old Nathan Foster, of Clarinda, was arrested Tuesday, July 9th, after a traffic stop was conducted by Page County Sheriff’s Deputies.
Foster was wanted on an active Taylor County Warrant for two, felony, Controlled Substance Violations – Delivery of a Controlled Substance. Foster was released from the Taylor County Sheriff’s Office after he was able to post $5,000 bond.
