Iowa City, IA – Kaleb Johnson is on fire. The Iowa Hawkeye running back has exploded onto the scene this season, racking up an impressive 685 rushing yards in just four games. His performance against the Minnesota Golden Gophers, where he tallied 206 yards and three touchdowns, earned him the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week award.

Johnson’s dominance extends beyond a single game. He currently leads the nation in rushing with an average of 171.3 yards per game, a whopping 99 yards ahead of the second-place runner. He’s also averaging an astounding 8.4 yards per carry and has found the endzone nine times.

This electrifying performance has ignited excitement around the Hawkeye program, which now enjoys a well-timed bye week. Johnson and the offensive line will use this time to recover and prepare for a tough road test against the Ohio State Buckeyes on October 5th.

With Johnson at the helm, the Hawkeyes look poised for a thrilling season and a strong run in the Big Ten.
