Three active sports, three Big Ten Players of the Week. A good way to start a Monday for the University of Iowa.
Senior wide receiver Ihmir Smith-Marsette was named the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week, following the 16
th –ranked Hawkeyes’ 28-7 win against Wisconsin to claim the Heartland Trophy. The announcement was made Monday by the Big Ten Conference office.
It is Smith-Marsette’s first career weekly honor and the fourth time a Hawkeye has earned a weekly conference honor this season. The Newark, New Jersey, native caught a season-high seven passes for a career-high 140 receiving yards and two touchdowns on Saturday. It marked his second straight multi-touchdown game, and the yardage was the most since Marvin McNutt had 151 yards at wide receiver against Purdue in 2011.
