Expert Analysis
Chris Smith | Prep Redzone Scout
The highest ranked prospect from this feature is Johnson as the Panthers ball carrier moved into our Top 20 after displaying improved development through his off-season and in-season work. Committed to Mississippi St., Johnson is an explosive runner that defenders have a hard time dealing with due to his balance, shifty feet and overall speed. This Memphis area prospect is also stronger than he may look and Johnson will only get bigger and stronger during his time in college. I believe the Bulldogs are getting a steal with this guy. Johnson is one of the best big play backs from our senior class that might have a chance to see the field early during his time down in Starkville.

Read EvaluationChris Smith | Prep Redzone Scout
Stats: 36 carr. for 335 yds & 5 TD’s
Johnson kicked off his Mr. Football campaign in a big way last week where he ran for over 300 yards and five touchdowns in the Panthers 41-17 win over MUS. The future Mississippi St. Bulldog was an absolute machine and a consistent force that the Owls defense could not slow down. Johnson used his athleticism, quick burst and speed to present issues for MUS and it’s something you should expect to continue seeing out this Memphis area ball carrier for the remainder of the season. Performances like this definitely puts Johnson at the top of the list for our overall in-state player of the year by season’s end.
