Meeting with Reed changes Johnson's outlook

CLEMSON - Clemson's No Fly Zone secondary is talented and deep, but in order for them to be successful in 2015 defensive backs coach Mike Reed needs players like Jadar Johnson to step up their game.

Johnson has logged 340 snaps in 24 games as a backup safety, but the junior from Orangeburg (SC) knows that he has the physical capabilities to be a lockdown safety. However, he needed to learn the little nuances of the position.

The stage was set for Johnson to grow as a player and a student after a recent meeting with Reed.
