Boise State's Ashton Jeanty now tied for highest-rated player in 'College Football 25'

Productive stats in loss Johnson totaled 14 carries for 98 yards and one touchdown and reeled in 4 of 5 targets for 49 yards during Saturday's 32-20 defeat against Michigan State.

Impact Despite the solid statline, Johnson was held mostly in check throughout the day, with most of his production coming on a 75-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. The junior running back was more involved in the passing game due to the lack of a consistent running game, catching four passes for 49 yards, both of which marked season-best totals. Johnson has been one of the best running backs in all of college football this season, running for 1,035 yards and 13 touchdowns through the team's first seven games on an impressive 7.8 YPC. His next opportunity to better those numbers will come in a home battle against Northwestern this coming Saturday.

Multi-score effort in blowout Johnson logged 21 rushes for 166 yards and two touchdowns and hauled in all three targets for 22 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 40-16 victory versus Washington.

Impact It was just another day at the office for Johnson, who ran for over 160 yards for the fourth time in six games and had his fifth multi-score game of the season. The electric junior running back did add a new highlight to the tape against the Huskies, as he connected with quarterback Cade McNamara for an 18-yard receiving score, his first of the season through the air. The historic pace of Ashton Jeanty is unfortunately taking some of the limelight away from Johnson's fantastic first half, as the junior has now run for 937 yards and 12 touchdowns through Iowa's first six games while averaging a beastly 7.9 YPC. Johnson will look to improve those numbers in a road battle against Michigan State this coming Saturday.

Solid day in blowout loss Johnson recorded 15 rushes for 86 yards and one touchdown and reeled in all two targets for five yards during Saturday's 35-7 defeat to Ohio State.

Impact Johnson salvaged his day on a 28-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter, though by that time, the game was well in hand for the Buckeyes. The junior running back has had a fantastic start to the season, finding the end zone in each of the team's first six games, and though his 86 yards were a season-low, he still managed to put together a productive outing in a blowout loss. Johnson will continue to be a top backfield option moving forward, starting when the Hawkeyes host Washington on Saturday.

Overlooked by the No. 3 Buckeyes, Iowa's Kaleb Johnson packs some extra motivation for his trip home

OCTOBER 2, 2024 • Associated Press

Explosive day in victory Johnson notched 21 carries for 206 yards and three touchdowns and gathered in all two targets for negative one yard during Saturday's 31-14 victory against Minnesota.

Impact Johnson has been on fire to start the 2024 season, recording his fourth consecutive game with over 115 yards and multiple touchdowns. Saturday marked Johnson's best game of the season thus far, as the junior running back gained over 200 yards on nearly 10 YPC and found the end zone three times, leading the Hawkeyes to victory in their Big Ten opener. Johnson looks to be an elite option in the backfield, though a trip to Columbus to battle the Buckeyes should prove more challenging following Iowa's bye week on Saturday.

The junior running back found the end zone on runs of 27 and three yards in the first and third quarters, respectively, building a 19-7 lead in favor of the Hawkeyes prior to a late game collapse. Johnson has accounted for 306 rushing yards and four touchdowns through the team's first two games, leading the way for the Iowa offense and setting himself apart as the clear lead back in the Iowa backfield.

Electric performance in opener Johnson totaled 11 carries for 119 yards and two touchdowns and gathered in their only target for eight yards during Saturday's 40-0 victory against Illinois State.

Impact Johnson did not see the field until the second half, but he certainly made the most of his limited opportunities on the day, finding the end zone twice. Both scores came in the fourth quarter, on runs of 64 and 18 yards, respectively. Redshirt freshman Kamari Moulton led the team in attempts on the day, but Johnson's productive day indicates that the Iowa offense could be capable of producing multiple fantasy-viable running backs. A home matchup against Iowa State awaits next week.
