Travis was absolutely electric vs. Indian River today. He finished the day with 7 receptions/174 yards/3 TDs. He scored on two dump passes to go for 72 and 40 yards. After that, he had a diving catch in the end zone on a fly route. Travis took over the 1st half of the game and was the most dynamic player of the afternoon. He showed his ability to stretch the field, but also be put in motion and score on short routes. His versatility as an ATH and route runner is unique. Travis is long, fluid, and super smooth. He can turn a little into a lot very fast. His transition speed as he gets to the second and third level is difficult to defend. He has more Percy Harvin/Athlete in his toolbox than I gave him credit for. There is an endless stream of plays and routes that he can score on. The long strider is fun to watch and makes the game look easy. Travis looks ready for the Big 10.

Travis Johnson Travis Johnson 6'4" | 180 lbs | WR Oscar Smith | 2026 State VA  is a vertical threat with the size and skill set to dominate on the outside. He consistently beats press and off-man coverage with length, stride, and speed. Johnson’s ability to win contested catches, particularly in the red zone, stands out. He frequently high-points the football and shows great body control. Johnson also demonstrates smooth acceleration and can take short passes the distance.

He’s on the lean side, but he has the frame to put on some good weight once he gets on the college campus of his choice. I’m impressed with how fast he gets to top speed for an athlete his size. I can’t wait to see what he does for an encore this upcoming season.
