Closest statistical matches, adjusted for opponent strength.
Jordan Canzeri
Does a little of everything without one standout trait. Arrived as a two-star recruit; two seasons of production at Iowa since. The first career honor came in 2015: All-Big Ten. A game that shows it: 256 rushing yards and 15 receiving yards against Illinois — Week 6, 2015.
Play style
Plays within the scheme — consistent production without a dominant dimension.
