Culp’s All American Hopes Center on Competition
The piece argues Curley Culp from ASU has slim chances for All American honors due to rival linemen Meylan of Nebraska and Liggins of Oklahoma. Meylan is a two time All American and Liggins is praised as the fastest lineman and top defensive player on a strong Sooners team. Liggins and Meylan’ s national profiles and team status overshadow Culp who plays on weaker ASU squads. The author notes public image and team prominence as key factors in selection, with Liggins likely to dethrone Meylan and Culp facing an uphill climb. The accompanying high school rankings for local Arizona teams are included.
