"I've been offered by LSU, Southern Miss, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Memphis, Troy, Alabama, and Arkansas,"
said Desmond Johnson. "LSU is my leader."Who have you spoken
to lately?
"Troy, Southern Miss, Alcorn State, and LSU."
Tell
me about those schools and their recruitment.
LSU - "They have great
coaches. The win championships, and have great players. They're by far my leader.
I am very comfortable with their coaches. I have not spoken with them since right
before Christmas break. I'm looking forward to hearing from them again."
Troy
- "I really like there coaches. They are recruiting me hard. I have set up
a visit for 2/1. I'm looking forward to learning more about their school and their
offense."
Southern Miss - "I love Coach Hughes. I was close to
him when he was at Ole Miss. I'm working on getting a date set up with them for
a visit. I also want to get to know the rest of their staff. They seem to be pretty
cool."
Alcorn State - "I am visiting this weekend 1/11" My
coach graduated from there. I have heard good things about the school."
Johnson
had a shortened season but it didn't stop him from putting up jaw dropping stats.
"I only played in five games. I broke my tibia bone. Through five
games I had 1,003 yards and 15 TD. I've recovered from my injury and I'm now running."
How
did his teammates fair without him?
"They did well. We made it to the
playoffs but lost in the first round to Noxubee County."
How has school
been going?
"Really good. I've really been working on pulling up my
grades so I can qualify."
