'06 OH ATH Derrell Johnson (Iowa Signee)

if any of you have seen old footage of Corny Greene--this kid's running style reminds me of Flam7. Kind of gets on his tippy-toes before he makes his move. I like him and I think he would be a perfect guy in the slot...

What a great story - and what a tough video :yow1:

Yes very good video. I am really hoping that he can improve his grades enough to get an offer. I think that with his ex home situation that the coaches will understand the situation a little more and could be a little more leaniant on this one.

I am also hoping for a Mooney vs. Coldwater matchup in the Div. 5 finals.

Homan vs. Johnson. Wouldnt that be great.

I went to the game tonight and Darrell Johnson injured his leg on a long run with 8 minutes left in the 2nd quarter. He did not come back in. In my opinion Johnson is defintely a playmaker and very elusive runner. Tonight he had that extra gear that not many high school athletes have. Mooney did score right after Johnson went out to take a 20 to 7 lead. Mooney basically ran the ball on every play during the game and Burney got 90% of the carries once Johnson left the game. Mooney fumbled 3 times and had a punt blocked in the 2nd half and still held on to win 20 to 13. This game would have never been close if Johnson did not get injured. Nate Davis did not have a very good game, throwing two interceptions. He has a great arm but I was not impressed by his accuracy on shorter passes that were in the middle of the field.

It's being reported on jjhuddle that Derrell rebroke his leg again tonight, but it had nothing to do with the first injury.

Man you can only feel bad for him. I wonder if there is any chance of a greyshirt, or maybe him enrolling at a community college and getting his grades in good shape and enrolling at Ohio ST. Interested to see what teams will stay in on him.

Really unfortunate, best of luck to him with whatever he decides to do.

Indeed a broken leg. Unfortunate has he seems to be a special player. I saw a scout from Ohio State at the game and he left when the ambulance was taking Johnson to the hospital. I hope he can recover from this and gets the oppurtunity to continue his football career.
