Travis Johnson

Wasn't Johnson moderately rated until he tore up some camp?

BEAST....

We have another Kellen Winslow 2 on our hands.

a.)Kid has huge hands and snags everything thrown b.) good height and body control (boxes out defenders)
c.)Can run the route tree.....lol @ The Warlord being our best route runner...a kid hat was setting picks and running the baseline his 4 years in high school in Glades Central...
d.)Confidence...dude talks n backs it up..hes been playing with some of Tampa's best since youth leagues (Vernon Hargreaves,etc..)
e.) Raw from a strength and conditioning..kid is beasting..and by looking at him you can tell he isnt/hasnt hit the gym too hard..you'll see him make strides after his 2nd year in proram...he'll hover around 230-240

Good compliment to Standish Dobard....we'll flex him out...send in motion..create mismatches with lb's on the outsides...think you see Dobard work the middle of the field more.
 
Amazing hands. If Fisch sticks around TJ will have a great career here. I think he's destined to be good no matter what but I think he's a perfect fit for what Fisch wants.

THIS. Kid will absolutely tear it up in our offense. Might not be a pure TE but he's just like hernandez

He isn´t fast or explosive for a TE, but he has size/length and catches everything in his radius. Can see him being huge for Olsen. No KWII or Shockey, but a potent chain-mover and red zone threat.

Last in saw him it looked like he never saw a weight room in his life. I remember Winslow just beasting it when he hit the weights so maybe we see a bit of a transformation with TJ

Anyone just see Aaron Hernandez score a touchdown lined up as an H-back? That is what I expect Fisch to be doing with Johnson
 
I like the Hernandez comparison. Once Johnson loses some of his baby fat and works on that pear-shaped body, he is going to be **** quick. He is athletic enough to return punts, so he's definitely not lumbering.

It's been a long, long time since Miami had somebody with truly exceptional hands. Johnson could be that guy.

By the time he is a well-conditioned sophomore, IMO he'll be one of the top players from this class.

If this ends up being true I dont think that is a good thing. We are after too many supremely talented guys.

I like this kid, but if you think Warlord is slow wait till you see this Johnson.
 
There is an article on ITU saying that USF is going after him. Their new coach, Taggart, visited him.
