Assessing the talent: From A Step Ahead: Jim Stefani's Underclassmen Football Recruiting Blog: Johnson is one of the top overall prospects in Michigan and top WRs in the Midwest.............Honorable Mention All-Muskegon Area as a junior in helping to lead his team to the state title........Not quite the prospect that his older brother, USC signee Ron Johnson, is since he lacks Ron's great speed, but he is still very, very good........Dominated at the 2007 Purdue Nike Camp, earning WR MVP honors after showing off his soft hands, agility, ability to get separation from DBs and explosivenes in open space. Runs excellent routes.

 

Odds of becoming a Cornhusker: 15% He was originally committed to Michigan State in Sept. 2006 but backed off due to the coaching change.

I've never been one to get hung up on 40 times at all, but at 167lbs. and he runs a 4.7? Does he have a quick shuttle time that makes up for his lack of straight line speed?

Yeah, it's difficult to know...searching the Stefani blog, he lists him at 6'1"/180/4.60. The specs above are from Rivals.

Rivals height and weight are tested at their camp, so that would definitely be more accurate.

 

But his 3.95 shuttle time sure makes up for his 4.7 forty to say the least.
