ISU's Mitchell Meyers to undergo final chemotherapy treatment Friday

Iowa State defensive lineman Mitchell Meyers, who was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in January, will undergo his final of seven round of chemotherapy on Friday.

Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads said Meyers, who started at defensive end and tackle last season as a redshirt sophomore, has not missed a workout since being diagnosed.

While the chemo is over, Meyers still has to undergo more treatment before he's ready to be back on the field.

"From here, Mitchell will come back to his hometown in Houston and undergo radiation before joining us in the month of September," Rhoads said. "Prayers still extended for Mitchell and his family and everything that he’s going through, and our football team watches in admiration and appreciation each and every single day.”

Meyer was one of only four Iowa State players to start all 12 games in 2014. He finished the year with 30 total tackles.
