Stats: 3 Receptions, 34 Yards

I was very excited to get eyes on the Top 10 senior TE, and loved what I saw. The focus of the night was running the football, and Adrian was a huge contributor in the team’s success there. He was like an extra OL for the Cardinals. Adrian flies out of his stance, turns that quickness into power, plays with a low pad level, and ran his feet through his blocks leading to plenty of movement in the trenches. Adrian also stepped up as a receiver. He impressed me with how quickly he gets out of breaks and used that to create separation on all three of his receptions. Johnson is big, strong, yet also has the balance and fluidity to be a weapon downfield. A traditional TE recruit that more need to get their eyes on.

Adrian enters the season with offers from Bemidji State and Upper Iowa. The 6’4” 230 lbs senior plays TE for Fond du Lac and has the size, power, and athleticism to be a three down TE at the next level. On offense Adrian has shown that he can line up inline and use his power to get quick, clean releases. As a route runner, his quickness at his breaks are what open up separation for him. He plays with enough speed, but that quickness in short areas gives him the advantage. It also shines as a run blocker, allowing him to position himself between ball and defender.
