Just says he's transferring, doesn't say on scholarship, or am I being ridiculously dense? Probably so, tired as ****.

taught him in middle school hes a good kid
short and stocky not that fast but can cut on a dime... tore his acl senior year

heres a video from junior or sophomore year... hes not walk on material so shut the f up..if he hadnt tore his acl he would have had more offers..his game is similar to the north carolina running back more quick than fast definitely has first step explosion but can break tackles and make people miss low center of gravity. If anybody saw him in high school he was much better than eduardo clements as a pure runner

AFter seeing the spring game I guarantee you if this is true and he kept himself in shape he is our #2 running back I guarnatee you that.. he is better thean any other running back we have right now

Not really related to football but if he won the State title in the shot put at 5-8, 200 dude has some strength. Can't wait to see what his stiff arm looks like. Haha

Sir I understand your personnal bias, but to compare this kid to Giovianni Bernard is absurd in its puriest definition. Gio broke more long runs then i care to remember, the kid is a special back. Johnson as a said is walkon material, was he hurt at Iowa, if not he was fully healthy and just managed mercy duty playing time.

For you to say he is better than Dillard who yes is suspect but will surprise people, Dallas Crawford who can break a defenders ankles in a phone booth, Mo Hagen he will flat out truck over a defender, edwards who will a get you 4 yds every time he touches ball power back, and final Clements who before he got hurt was as realible an efficient as Fedex. Come on now get real i won't even mention our latest scholarship signee who by the way is the 9th fastest high schooler in America.

Like I said I glad Johnson will get an opportunity at UM to purse his dreams as a walk-on RB and special teamer, also if he does work out he can take 5 carries a game in short yardage situation which would allow Edwards and Walter Tucker to redshirt.

Johnson had good measurables coming out of school in 2010, but wouldn't he be a red shirt JR even coming from Juco.

Sounds like he had some issues with authority at IOWA, which I am not sure will work well with AG's style so this will be interesting.

I also stand corrected on Johnson not being ranked high on IOWA's depth chart he was their #2 RB, so its puzzling why he had so few carries in run happy offense.

So let me get this straight: he was dismissed from Iowa in August, transfered to Ellsworth CC to finish out the season, and is now enrolling here?
 
Gimme competition at RB all day long. Keep them boys hungry and let the cream rise to the top. :eekeyes: @ 3:09 on the HUDL highlights. Welcome to the :neonu: young man. Let's get to work.
 
Thanks for the insight blackvern. Look forward to seeing what he can do. Have you seen him since his surgery? As far as his attitude, I trust our coaches judgment. They're not 100 percent correct, but no one is.
