IOWA CITY — University of Iowa junior running back Kaleb Johnson has been named Big Ten Co-Offensive Player of the Week following his performance in the Hawkeyes’ 31-13 win at Minnesota, it was announced Monday by the league office. Johnson shares the honor with Illinois quarterback Luke Altmyer.

The weekly accolade is the second for Johnson, who was tabbed both Offensive and Freshman of the Week after his first 200-yard rushing effort of his career on Nov. 7, 2020, at Purdue.

Johnson notched his fourth consecutive 100-yard game, finishing with career highs in rushing yards (206) and touchdowns (3) against Minnesota. He posted scoring runs of 1, 15 and 40 yards.

Johnson is the first Hawkeye to post four straight 100-yard rushing games since Mark Weisman in 2012. Johnson now has eight career 100-yard games, which tie for 12th most in program history. He has two touchdowns in four consecutive games, a first for a Hawkeye since Mark Weisman in 2014.

Johnson has amassed 685 yards and nine touchdowns through four games.
