LB/DE Mark Johnson (official thread)

[Taosman]

Everything being said here is just really speculation and many things can happen between now and the Fall 2008.

I guess that says it all. We'll just stop now.

Moeller should be playing strong safety. Still not that big. I can see at least two guys transferring if some of these freshman get some burn this year.

 

[Taosman]

Competition for playing time will be incredible and will lead to better LBer play. It will also lead to some getting tired of the competition and leaving.

 

[gefootball10]

anyone specific you guys are implying here??

 

[Taosman]

No specifics at this time. That would not be appropriate.

MJ Looks to Move Up Depth Chart............Johnson says his shoulder injury his close to 100% and he matured while on the scout team this year going against Beanie and the offensive line. Johnson is not concerned about competition, he just wants to work hard.

Could Mark get a medical redshirt so that he'd have another season along with the other redshirt?

He can apply for the six year of eligibility once his normal eligibility has been used (ala Josh Huston).

EDIT: SI.com has an article on Ben Mauk being denied a sixth year by the NCAA. Go about halfway down the article where it says basically what I did.

Bill Green has given us permission to pass along that Mark will be repping at DE this spring.

How big is Johnson, now?

How big is Johnson, now?

Up to 260. 6'4" 260 is the perfect size for DE.

Well, I don't know if there's a "perfect" size for DE but that's basically how big Gholston was so I know it sure as hell isn't bad either.

 

[matcar]

Sounds like a good size/frame...I wonder if he still has the speed he had before?

Cool...he certainly has the frame for it! Thanks for the update!
