Rivals.com has posted video of Johnson in action.

Observations:

His pad level his high when he is running, displays great ability to break tackles and uses his blocks well. Did not show any break away runs, more of the 10-20 type runs in the inside. One clip showed him at linebacker, he struggled to get off blocks and seemed to not make the tackle until 5 yards down the field. Granted it was only a handful of plays.

Due to all the interest in Michigan recruits this year and next, I was wondering who was recruiting up that way? Whoever it is, is doing a heck of a job.

Indiana, Purdue, Michigan State, and Cincinnati send mail. Michigan State is his early leader. Johnson will attend camp at Illinois and the NIKE camp in Ann Arbor this summer.

I believe it is Paul Haynes who coached at MSU for couple of years and is a good recruiter
