Montrell Johnson portalets out to Florida

[CrazyCajun]

Montrell had a great freshman season and would have had a great career at UL. We have done a great job the last few years of shuffling backs and keeping them fresh and then sending them to the NFL. He benefitted from that shuffling as did Smith and Bailey. I hope someone can step in and take the “bruiser back” touches he got.

I hope whatever his new situation works out for him. Considering he was in such a great spot, I hope he didn’t make a mistake. Time will tell.

All freshman
T Williams 6’0 225
D Washington 5’9 216
K Williams 5’10 200

M Johnson is 5’11 210, I think we are ok there.

Once a player leaves UL by anything not graduating, or using up their eligibility I’m neutral towards them, like an x girlfriend. Too bad he’s chosen a different path, Hasta la vista, baby!

You and everyone knows that size is just one element of being an outstanding running back.

He said “I hope someone can step in and take the bruiser back touches he got”...I think we are good there. We still have Smith.

Yeah you have to be effective in the touches or coaches will go a different direction. Not saying the big backs won’t be effective only time will answer that, but there’s a reason he was that back.

Correct. He separated himself from this guys for a reason. I hope those guys bust their butts with the opportunity they now have

They have all added a year’s maturation physically, emotionally, and mentally. So we shall see.

We have 3 backs equal his size or bigger, I doubt the previous staff would be 0 for 3 on RB’s.

It’s not a debate. They might all be adequate, equal, or better. That’s to be determined, but again there’s a reason he was ranked so well out of high school and was the first choice.
