Video: Johnson honored by Watkins Award

Texas freshman Roschon Johnson's unselfish move from quarterback to running back this season is well documented.

He has rushed for 363 yards and two TDs in six games, including 216 yards on 29 carries over the past two games. Johnson has also contributed 14 receptions for 109 yards and a TD for the 15th-ranked Longhorns.

Shortly after he arrived at Texas in the spring, our cameras had chance to follow Johnson to Washington D.C. as he was honored as a Watkins Award finalist for his efforts on and off the field at Port Neches-Groves High School.
