Will Johnson’s Versatility on Display for Orlando City at Right Back

Not many people called this one at the beginning of the season. Even the brain trust here at The Mane Land didn’t predict it. Sorry, Gavin. Will Johnson has played every minute of Orlando City Soccer Club’s 2017 season — as the starting right back.

And so far, it’s worked. Jason Kreis said this week that it wasn’t his in his plans to pair Cyle Larin and Carlos Rivas this season, but Kreis does deserve credit for plugging Johnson in at RB — of course, Johnson deserves some credit too.

Johnson was signed in the off-season as a versatile midfielder.
