Toren Young is always going to be the “Thunder” compliment to Mekhi Sargent‘s “Lightning” for the Iowa football team. It was the same for LeShun Daniels, Jr. and Akrum Wadley. Iowa likes to have a speedy back that can keep opposing defenses off balance and then wear them down with a bruiser back.

That’s exactly how running back, Toren Young, was utilized last season for the Hawks. If you recall, Iowa was clinging to a 3-0 lead at halftime in the opening game against Northern Illinois last season. Young didn’t have a single carry in the first half, which was likely planned.
