Iowa running back Jordan Canzeri is a huge reason why Iowa is vying for a spot in the National Championship playoff. Iowa is currently ranked No. 4 in the playoff and will take on Michigan State in the Big 10 title game. The winner is practically guaranteed a spot in the final four rankings.

Everyone is going to get a chance to see Canzeri on the national stage, but the Big 10 coaches and the media already have respect for the Troy High School graduate.

Canzeri has 964 yards rushing this season on 176 carries. That's a 5.5 yards per carry average. He also has 12 rushing touchdowns to go along with one receiving touchdown and nearly 200 yards through the air.

What's more impressive about Canzeri's inclusion on the All-Big 10 team is that he missed nearly three full games due to injury. He missed games against Maryland and Indiana and left the game with Northwestern early on with an ankle injury.
