Nebraska mentioned as one of 5 possible landing spots for WR Tyron Johnson

[Johnny Eutaw]

Tyron Johnson, who was a 5-star recruit coming out of HS, is transferring from LSU and looking for a more "wide-open" offense. Nebraska is mentioned as a possible destination. Come on Coach Williams -- do your thing!

Give Williams the key to city if he brings this kid to Nebraska.

If we keep getting WR's, were gonna have to start moving them to DE and off tackle. At some point enough has to be enough, yes?

yeah I agree theres no point in adding a 5* WR who has playing experience that would add depth when we lose Westerkamp, Reilly, Moore and co this season and be ahead of all the other freshmen on the scholarship chart

A five-star recruit out of Warren Easton High School in New Orleans, Johnson was rated as the top player in Louisiana, the #5 receiver in the country, and the #27 player in the entire nation by 247Sports.com coming out of the prep ranks.

In his freshman season of 2015, his only season at LSU, Johnson caught 9 passes for 150 yards.

If Johnson transfers to another FBS school, he would have to sit out the 2016 season, and then would have three years of eligibility remaining.

 

Last year he was listed at 6'1 189lbs.

Why's he transferring?

 

Leave him be. We're fine at WR for the future. We need to put more concentration into the guy getting the ball to them. WR's can be dime a dozen with a good qb and solid line. We've loaded up the WR position. Time to put the focus on the dirty workers.

We only have two committed in the 2017 class. We will most likely miss out on Tyjon Lindsey to OSU and Jamire Calvin to Notre Dame. Joseph Lewis is a toss up right now. Hopefully the trip to Nebraska seals the deal this weekend, but another playmaker never hurts. You don't turn talent away.

I would guess that we wouldn't turn down a 5 star athlete at a position of need bc we graduate 3 starting wr this year. Seems like he played last year as a true frosh so it is not like he wasn't talented and wasn't going to see the field

[Landlord]

"5 star receiver transferring from a top school and might interested in us? Nah, leave him be, dont' need him."

[ADS]

Move him to guard or tackle.

[ScottyIce]

Would it not be nearly identical to us landing Dez Fitzpatrick? I mean, talented guy that would be ready to replace our seniors next season... It's not like we didn't want more WR in the class of 16.

NU has what is arguably the biggest rising star recruiter in the country as their WR coach. Kids love him. He is exactly what has been missing in Nebraska in the new age of college football. And you want him to stop doing his job so well? Not to mention they have an existing relationship that goes back years.

 

You seriously would let this kid go and not try to get him to Lincoln?That is a real thing you would do?

 

He retweeeted a Stanley Morgan highlight this morning.

That's why you're on a couch, pal. If he wants to come to Nebraska let him.

 

Maybe he's transferring so he doesn't have to a "slap boxing" video with Fornette.

I would assume he doesn't like playing WR in LSU's extremely run heavy offense.
