"Troy Davis: Cyclone Legend" Debuts Monday

AMES, Iowa - Cyclones.tv is proud to release another documentary in the "Cyclone Legend" series, this time featuring the legendary Troy Davis.

Davis was recently inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame this past December and his accomplishments at Iowa State are well-documented. The hard-nosed, stocky running back shattered virtually every school rushing record in his three-year tenure with the Cyclones (1994-96), earning the distinction as ISU's only two-time first-team consensus All-American and the school's only player to be invited to the Heisman Trophy ceremony twice. He finished second to Danny Weurffel (Florida) in the 1996 Heisman Trophy race.

The Miami, Florida, native is the only player in Division I (FBS) college football history to rush for more than 2,000 yards in a season twice, leading the nation in rushing in 1995 (2,010) and 1996 (2,185).

In Davis' historic 1996 season, he rushed for over 130 yards in all 11 games, including a school-record 378 yards vs. Missouri, the third-best rushing effort in NCAA history at the time. His 2,185 yards rushing as a junior is the third-best season total in NCAA history in an 11-game schedule (Barry Sanders, Oklahoma State, 2,628; Marcus Allen, USC, 2,342).

He still owns Iowa State career records in rushing (4,382), all-purpose yards (5,177), 100-yard games (21), 200-yard games (9) and rushing touchdowns (36).

Click below for a video trailer previewing the documentary, which first airs tonight on the Cyclones.tv Mediacom TV channel Monday at 6pm, 7:30pm, 9pm and 10:30pm. Several more airings are showcased this week and this month.
