This is great news for the Jackets and for Johnson, as suffering a foot injury and missing a full year of football is never fun. Johnson is the expected starter against Clemson and beyond that game, so it’s great for him to get this stress off of his back and be able to focus on football going into the season.
Continuing with the Lucas Johnson theme, the article above discusses Johnson’s perseverance in recovering from his foot injury and the transition he has made from the spread option to the “pro-style spread offense.” If Johnson does end up starting August 29, and plays well this coming season (and the two that follow), he certainly will have a great story to tell.
