Iowa’s power back who thrived on toughness and volume
Weisman was a classic old-school Iowa runner: in the 2014 season, he led the Hawkeyes in rushing for the third straight year with 812 yards and 16 touchdowns, finishing his Iowa career with 2,602 rushing yards and 32 rushing TDs. His edge was physicality—he was a downhill, contact-seeking back who could wear defenses down and finish drives, and his rise from walk-on/fullback roots adds real “earned it” credibility. He fits best if you want a tough, short-yardage, red-zone hammer rather than an elusive space player.[1][2][4]
