Bockhorst believes sky’s the limit for Johnson after position switch

Clemson redshirt junior offensive guard Matt Bockhorst sees a lot of potential in Tayquon Johnson and believes the sky is the limit for the redshirt freshman after his switch from the defensive line to the O-line.

Johnson came to Clemson in the summer of 2019 as a defensive tackle and played in three games while redshirting last season before making the transition to offensive guard in the spring.

The Williamsport, Md., native missed some time in fall camp while dealing with migraines but returned to practice last week, and Bockhorst says Johnson “can be as good as he wants to be” moving forward thanks in large part to his sheer physical strength.
