At the beginning of the season, I wrote about how I thought Tristan Wirfs had a good chance of becoming the Iowa football team’s fifth Outland Trophy Award winner, and when Wirfs was named a semifinalist last week, I was all but certain.
The junior tackle has played outstanding football for the Iowa football team, and he has had to do it with a revolving door of the interior offensive line and while playing both left and right tackle.
And his play isn’t missing a beat. He’s made five Pro Football Focus Big Ten Teams of the Week this year and from this weekend, he was named to the Pro Football Focus National Team of the Week.
