One of them diamonds in the rough? It speaks volumes that Chavis and Cooper saw that much with Johns that they offered less than 10 days on the job.
If we get Myles.. any chance he converts to a linebacker? He seems lanky at 210 lbs.. plenty of room to add some meat. I remember reading that Chavis likes the speedier linebackers.. and he seems to move pretty well.
I agree...this guy is fantastic. Tough, great athlete, plays his position well, and makes unbelievable plays. Special Teams, Offense and Defense.....WELCOME TO THE TIGERS MR. JOHNS!
Re: New Commit: S Josh Johns Article in the Advocate: Central’s Johns drawing comparisons to Steltz Central High School football coach Sid Edwards dug into his memory bank during his coaching days at Redemptorist to find an SEC reference point for Johns — a 6-foot-2, 205-pounder who recently ran better than 4.6 seconds in the 40-yard dash. “We competed against Craig Steltz when he was at Rummel,” Edwards said of the former LSU standout and current member of the Chicago Bears. “Josh reminds me of Craig. He’s a very similar type football player.” Central defensive coordinator Doug Dotson said: “We ask a lot of our free safety. He’s out there making 90 percent of the calls because there’s a lot of its checks. We automatic to a lot of different formations and he’s got to know them.” “He taught me a lot of stuff that I didn’t know as a safety,” Johns said. “There were some techniques that really helped me and being able to read the defenses. He really threw me into the fire, made me make the call and do things real fast and quicker. Try to be loud and be a leader out there.” “He’s intelligent and has physical strength,” Edwards said. “He’s also faster than people think he is. He’s got a nose for the football and sees the field very well. He’s the general back there. I regret not using him a little bit more on offense last year. But he was so valuable to us defensively that’s mainly where he stayed.” http://www.2theadvocate.com/sports/preps/featured/25741039.html
Re: New Commit: S Josh Johns I guess all Johns has to do now is start growing his hair into one of those surfer dude styles.
Re: New Commit: S Josh Johns My friend goes to every Central game, and he says Johns is a player, fast and tough, (of course he is a "homer".) He expects him to play on special teams immediately. I think it's great to sign the local talent. Congrats to Johns!
Re: New Commit: S Josh Johns Both Buddy Songy and Dandy Don compare Johns to Steltz. An LSU blog compares Johns to Jack Hunt. Jack Hunt Jack Hunt Craig Steltz Craig Steltz Josh Johns Josh Johns Craig Steltz at Archbishop Rummel High School
