September 8, 20196 yr Although I loved him as a runner tonight, I hope he gets a fair shot at QB if he wants to be a QB
September 8, 20196 yr Dude is a baller. Held onto the ball, fought for yards, and made some great blocks in pass protection. Deserves to see the field more than Ingram next week.
September 8, 20196 yr Haven’t seen him throw enough yet, but I could see him evolving into Sams replacement in 21. Has the it factor, physicality, and durable build. Plus he committed like super early and never wavered... some people are just born Texan.
September 8, 20196 yr He should start. Big. Aggressive. Strong. He will be elite level before heading to the nfl.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
September 8, 20196 yr He’s the reason we made this a game in the 2nd half. Running hard with passion, he got the rest of the offense going. Everyone else was kinda sleep walking until he woke everyone up.
September 8, 20196 yr I heard a few times last week, "you don't want Johnson out there picking up blitzes against LSU". Well, yeah, I guess we kind of do. It's going to be an interesting decision. And a stacked RB room next year. Ingram, Whittington, Bijan, probably Jordan.

I think he will go back to QB next year and beat out Thompson for backup (who will transfer out). He will be our starter in 2021 and 22 while Milroe learns the ropes.

Plus he committed like super early and never wavered... some people are just born Texan. All this. Telling everyone last night he just seems to run angry. I'm not sure who a decent comp would be because he's got a unique running style. He only gets low when necessary but when he accelerates, it always looks like he's pissed off chasing the dude who stole my grandmother's purse or something.

That’s gonna be a hell of a battle after Ehlinger’s senior season & national championship.
September 8, 20196 yr RoJo has a long way to go before beating Casey, his path to playing time is much easier at RB. His upside isn't nearly as high though.

Kid is a winner. He might not ever start at qb here but he seems to have a team first mentality and I love that Edited September 8, 20196 yr by Coach pop a bitch
September 8, 20196 yr Team Player: that's one of the highest compliments anyone can pay in Herman's culture. Roschon stepped up when his team need him. He fought hard every play. 100% effort and played smart. You can't ask for more from a true freshman changing position on a week's notice.

When he hits the hole, he comes with bad intentions and seems to always get positive yards. He kinda reminds me of Ced. Edited September 9, 20196 yr by Xminus6

He kinda reminds me of Ced. True. Their body types in addition to other attributes make that comp a little hazy to me, though. The more I think about it, and this might be wayyy off to some (as well as unpopular), he's kind of a mix of Daniel Young (freshman year running with high pads but popped everyone in his way) and Manziel if he had played running back. My one concern is that he doesn't have the lower body strength to play the position long term, making him more susceptible to knee/ foot injuries. He's built, don't get me wrong, but he's really compact with the legs of a QB/ reciever. Yancy can help in this area some but genetics may be a little limited in that regard.

I love this kids selfless attitude, but I hope he doesn’t end up getting lost in a healthy rb room because he decided to take one for the team and do something he hasn’t done since 5th grade. If his eventual position is ultimately rb, then it is what it is. I don’t know what his goals are, but I’m so proud of him for stepping up and taking on this challenge.

Throw Brian Orakpo and Bernie Kozar into a blender, and you're right there.
September 10, 20196 yr I've seen Mariota and Josh Allen throw stiff arms that Roschon reminds me of; maybe Roethlisberger, too, but obviously he doesn't run as well as any of the three aforementioned. Of course, the three dudes in the NFL have all proven they have an arm of some description, which RoJo has not yet done, but Jesus H. Motherfucker, he's just a freshman in college, he has time. We don't know yet where his ceiling is, we just know he'll reach for it with attitude, because he's a bad motherfucker.

September 11, 20196 yr Throw Brian Orakpo and Bernie Kozar into a blender, and you're right there. You are an imbecile. It’s spelled “Kosar”. Other than that, spot on.

September 19, 20196 yr What a Baller!! IT: Of course helping Ingram carry the load, and maybe even provide Ingram extra motivation, is Roschon Johnson. In the summer I received a message regarding Roschon and it essentially said, "not sure if Roschon is a quarterback, but he's something." I knew he was struggling with mechanics and just figured it would get ironed out with more time but the team needed him at running back. We're all amazed by his willingness to initiate contact. We also like that initial burst. What makes him special, though, is his mental maturity and preparation. He has fully immersed himself in the position and is always asking his reads and assignments. The old cliche of "give me 11 guys like him" certainly applies to his mental approach.
September 20, 20196 yr No one's going to like this RB comp for Roschon because it's an aggy, but he looks like a young Rodney Thomas to me.
