Iowa running back commit Tyler Goodson has been selected for the Blue-Grey All-American game. The 5-foot-10 192-pound all-purpose back out of North Gwinnett High School finished with more than 1,300 yards rushing his junior year. He also tallied more than 300 yards receiving and 24 total touchdowns. The Blue-Grey account officially announced it on Wednesday via Twitter.

"#Hawkeyes commit Tyler Goodson (@tgood1110) was selected to play in this year's #BlueGreyFootball All-American Bowl at Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Raymond James Stadium."

The Blue-Grey All-American game isn't shy about selecting Hawkeyes to take part in their game. Last season, Iowa offensive linemen Jeffrey Jenkins and Matt Fagan were selected to take part. In 2017, quarterback Peyton Mansell and running back Ivory Kelly-Martin took part in it. Last season, the Blue-Grey game only selected 12 running backs in the nation to play in the game.

It's quite a nice honor for a guy that has been compared to Akrum Wadley by the coaching staff. Goodson excels making guys miss in the open field and is no stranger to catching the ball. He's poised to have a big senior season after helping lead North Gwinnett to a state championship last season. Despite coming off a stellar junior season, Goodson wants to work. He isn't one to rest on his accolades. In August, Goodson told HawkeyeInsider what he's trying to improve on.

"I have to prove a little bit more in blocking," Goodson said. "Blocking is important as a running back to protect the quarterback and I just feel like I need to get a little bit stronger in order to be great on the next level."

Goodson also mentioned some of his personal goals for the season which included not fumbling the ball, rushing for over 1,500 yards and catching for a few hundred yards. Iowa running back coach Derrick Foster and Goodson keep in contact, but his message to Goodson was a bit different than most coaches.

"Coach Foster had a talk about this [balancing out my senior year]," Goodson said in August. "He told me that he won’t be talking to me a lot because he wanted me to focus on my senior year and have fun because I only have one more year of high school. I really took that advice to focus on my team and focus on winning another title for the school."

Goodson will come into a young running back room and he'll have an opportunity to make an early impression. Toren Young, Mekhi Sargent, and Ivory Kelly-Martin will have two years of eligibility when Goodson enrolls, but after they leave, there's no other scholarship running backs besides Henry Geil and Samson Evans.

If you want to catch Goodson in live action, be sure to tune into ESPNU at 6 p.m. CT on September 14.
