Johnny Johnson Talks Return; Says 2021 Receiver Group can 'Go Down in History'

DJDuck

The Chandler, Ariz. native is poised to do just that with the incoming and returning talent at the wide receiver position in 2021. 4-star freshmen Dont’e Thornton and Troy Franklin join an already packed wide receiver room that returns Johnson and fellow fifth-year senior Jaylon Redd.

“[Troy’s] hands are second to none,” Johnson said. “Dont’e is doing a great job, and he’s making plays for us.

“They’re hungry,” Johnson said of the freshman duo. “They’re both doing a great job, and they’ve taken in a lot of the coaching.”

I've heard the UW couch sellers were a stronger group than Oregon's entire WR corps. @DJDuck, thoughts?

Sorry not familiar with forums lingo. Remember I am older than dirt too. 😁

Best spring start in shorts EVER for a tandem of incoming freshman.

I heard they outlasted everyone on the Peloton.

We’ll be going 5-wide every play and torching everyone. Maybe 6 or 7 wide if they can block better than a couple of the linemen.
