LB Cincere Johnson (Official Thread)

[ScriptOhio]

Johnson has the speed to drop into coverage and the size and physicality to create havoc in the run gaps and backfield when called upon. Whether it's on the ball or off of it, the linebacker has the athleticism to make plays all over the field.

When it comes to chasing down an opposing ballcarrier, Johnson not only has the instincts and quickness to chase the player down, but the explosiveness and hard-hitting ability to create turnovers as well.

While he must improve his tactics as a pass-rusher, Johnson will be a do-it-all linebacker once that happens. His physicality, athleticism and proven playmaking ability should turn him into a lethal player and the next star linebacker for Ohio State.

If he's even sort of picking up the defensive scheme, he's going to play. He was actually well ahead of where I expected him to be in the AA game from a mental perspective, he looked instinctual and seems to get the game, whereas I thought he was simply a physical freak coming in. Get your popcorn.
