Analyzing new Arizona running back commit Montrell Johnson Jr.

Gabe Encinas: Arizona really didn’t need a running back in this class but they go ahead and get an extremely nice talent out of Louisiana, an area that they have been steadily recruiting now.

I love Johnson’s patience and vision to find the hole and accelerate. Once he gets through the line he has a nice burst to get downfield with a head of steam. He looks incredibly smooth with his strides when the ball is in his hand.

His junior year stats are very impressive and it seems like his high touchdown count came from explosive plays.
