Seems to have big upside. Starting mid way through his frosh season last year, hustler. Is he going to crack the lineup in a crowded, experienced field? Hard to say. Looking forward to see if he can show us anything.
DJ Harvey will start at one side. Competition for the other side and the nickel spot will be sixth year senior Nicholson, 5th year senior Prophet Brown, 2nd year players Braylon Conley and Marcellus Williams. Johnson played 452 snaps and started 4 of the last 5 games at UCF last year. Those 452 snaps Johnson had are more than the other guys played last year at USC, combined.
Plus, the DB coach Reed coached him last year and seems to trust him. I would say Johnson will probably start or at minimum be first in the rotation.
Look at Johnson’s closing speed and at the hit he puts on Lagway at 1:08.
