QB Michael Johnson, Jr. [Penn State - Signed LOI]

[Chadhusker]

I find it odd he has Penn state as one of the schools. I believe Penn state has a qb in this class already .

Fairly common for teams to take two in a class.

Nebraska will have to have a 8-9 win season just to land this kid. 

I'm not sure it matters how good Nebraska's season is since his dad coaches at Oregon.

Depends on if he wants to play for his dad... This might be shocking but some kids actually want to get away from their parents after highschool.

I would assume Oregon is the heavy favorite but a lot could depend on who else they land and where he feels most comfortable.

I totally agree.

According to Oregon/West Coast 247 guys he won't be a Duck. He's a little more interested in Oregon than they are in him right now (awkward). Miami is believed to lead, Neb in the mix. 247 rating lower than other services because they aren't sure he's a QB at next level.

Hmm. Things are developing here a bit.

Turns out... he has a sibling that attends Nebraska and is an athlete as well.

Visit in May or June and wanting to decide by July.

Oregon got a qb commit today I believe. Might be something to watch out for.

Nah, I think that matters minimally. It’s already been reported Oregon wasn’t really interested in him as a QB, even though Dad is there.

Yep

 

[Chadhusker]

Would it matter to him that the ducks have a qb commit already or no ?

That’s why I said minimally. It might help him move on to another option or feel slighted possibly. Hard telling on that.

 

[Mavric]

Also he's good friends with Adrian Martinez and they talk regularly.  Johnson said it would be fun to compete and push each other.

 

[Chadhusker]

That would be nice. It would also be nice to have 2 qbs with some speed. Its been along time since we have had 2 qbs on the team with speed. Would like to have Johnson. 

 

[BIG ERN]

He has good measurables being he is 6'4. He throws better than I anticipated. He has also been consistent at the varsity level as a 3 soon to be 4 year starter at QB. 

JR: 1,218 passing yards (62%) 21 TD 5 INT, 745 rushing yards (7 ypc) 12 TD - also had 2 receiving TD
