Jordan Canzeri: A Flying Horse of a Hawkeye
Sep. 26, 2011 3:54 pm
The following video is nine minutes long. I wasn't sure Iowa freshman running back Jordan Canzeri -- then with the Troy (N.Y.) High Flying Horses -- ever got tackled in high school until the 5:29 mark.
Canzeri took off his redshirt in the fourth quarter Saturday and carried five times for 30 yards in Iowa's 45-17 win over Louisiana Monroe. His first two carries were for 12 yards apiece. He isn't big. Neither was Fred Russell.
My favorite spots on the video: A hop move on a punt return at 1:35, and the dragging of defenders at 5:56.
But my favorite thing of all: Canzeri's high school team is the Flying Horses. The Flying Horses!
