Class Impact: Tyler Johnson to Miami

[Brains]

Meet me at the altar in your white dress...

Gotta be 20 years since I last heard that one

Off-field stuff here. Hope he has success at his next spot, he has a ton of talent.

Not trying to argue with you @DMoney but I've never seen a shred of evidence that T. Johnson has a ton of talent. Certainly not at the P5 level. Upon what do you base that assertion?

It worked with Micah Parsons but rarely otherwise

Ryan Shazier too

 

[KingB02]

Ryan Shazier too

Was more common back in the day

Ryan Shazier too

Shazier also reportedly ran a 4.3. That helps a ton

South Florida hs coaches are gunna put their best defensive talent At the Edge or blitz tf out of them. It’s been that way for years. This kid is not a edge rusher At this level. Get that head on straight Wish him the best of luck

It’s worked with a lot of guys. HS coaches play kids out of position all the time especially in south Florida. They want to use their best athletes to get after the passer. & Micah is a 1of1 freak dude could probably get by at SS lol

That is a HUGE exception to the rule lol

Exactly! Parsons also played both sides and multiple positions. And he was like 6’3 230 not 6’0 185 crowding the line and blitzing on every play

What he do to be released? Other than that nothing to really talk about!

I was really high on Tyler Johnson. Thought he had an explosive first step, got through physicality pretty well, and showed a fairly high IQ to go with tools such as length and twitch.

The few times I got to see him practice or play in spring he looked lost. Will probably adjust my evaluations when you’re projecting a player to move backwards on the spectrum at the college level.

It can work, but I’m to the point that I do not believe it should be something we recruit towards much at a program with the resources and goals that Miami currently has.
