'16 FL WR Brandon Johnson (UT commit 9/2/15)

[QuickSmurf]

Yeah he's the best WR prospect we signed to me. Has real over the top type of speed we don't have.

I think he stays on offense. The guy is electric.

Crazy we took 6 WR's last year:

George
Henderson
Williams
Johnson
Callaway
Byrd

Quoting, because I think this list needs to be seen again. It's a good list.

Man I suck. Kid looks solid, everyone was saying George was our best WR signee but this kid looks better to me.

I won't front, I totally forgot about him too. I remember Byrd. Calloway, Juco-George, Henderson, Latrell Williams, I was thinking Byrd could be nasty on either side, hopefully plays both ways, but for some reason I could see him being a nasty athletic ball hawking Corner. Plus, when he picks the ball, and returns them for TDs. He can do the Dirty Byrd.

Anyways, I'm very excited about all of them and Brandon. And I've gone back to study the 2016 and 2015 class so I have no other failures, orange runs in my veins. Will never forfeit my Vol card lol

Johnson was kind of always forgotten in the last class. He just had so little hype as a 4* you almost forgot he was a 4*. And he was very quiet during his recruitment so I guess that has a little to do with it too.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

True that. I literally have no idea what he's like as a WR or even if he'll have a chance to get on the field

I like that though, no look at me, my top 60 for this week. Hopefully, he is that quiet work hard type, lets his game do the talking. Like a Marvin Harrison.

Well, we play 20 WR a game so I'm sure he will

School PPL w/receptions Actual WR's

BG 6 4
OU 8 6

AK 8 6
GA 9 5
AL 7 5

SC 7 4
UNT 9 5
MO 5 2
VU 5 2
NW 9 5

While there doesn't seem to be any real rhyme or reason to the number of WR's utilized during a game, there were actually never any more than 6 used in any single game. I'm sure some of it was due to injury of course and some due to production on the field, but we really didn't use an exceptional amount of WR's all season. I'd argue there were several games where we didn't use near enough of them.

I don't think that's accurate. Does it count them if they came in but didn't catch anything? Seems like that only counts them if they had a reception. There are some formations that had 5 WR, and I don't recall a single game where only 2 were used.

Nah. I only counted the ones with receptions. Was way too much work to go the other, more accurate, route.
