'16 ATH Keenen Johnson (Alto)

BillySee58 · December 12, 2015

6' 190 lb athlete from Alto. We have offered. Just recently committed to Tulsa, and also holds offers from SMU and Louisiana Lafayette. Ran for over 2600 yards this season. Played quarterback and safety in high school, but it doesn't look like QB is where he is being recruited by the schools who have offered, but I'm not sure about us. I'd be surprised if we offered at QB.

Out can tell this kid has all around talent. Like the way he runs. Has the power and the cutting ability! I say SL should fight a little harder for this guy.

Tulsa losing Gilbert could sway Johnson our way.

Johnson was recruited there to play safety.

Johnson was recruited there to play safety.

He might be more inclined to flip to us to take an offer on playing an offensive position. Maybe?

GMG24 · December 13, 2015

His running style looks like a RB and WR awkwardly meshed ( the styles part) but he can scoot and looks like a great athlete. I tend to agree with Tulsa on the safety part.

I don't know the kid and haven't really seen any good quotes on his recruitment to have any indication whether or not that may be the case. I don't know if he'd rather play running back or receiver than safety, but I don't think we offer him at QB just to get him to flip.

yep, doesn't seem like Littrell's style at all.

Which should make things interesting with how he handles Chumley.

IMO, Littrell either says you will be Blake bell dozer wildcat type only, or TE. I can't see him leaving him at QB unless he thinks he can fix mechanics which Harrell and Littrell should be able to fix (if anyone can)

Just saw a tweet from an Alto student(?) that Johnson is de-committing from Tulsa and committing to UNT. Not sure about the validity but looking through past tweets suggests she's close with Alto.

Nice job finding this MeanGreen22! +1.

Vito now reporting the same. Tulsa and UNT both knew of decision on Sunday. Looks like the friend let it out of the bag.

Very impressive. Nice job by Littrell, Perry, and company.

Maybe a RB or outside wide receiver in the Air Raid. Just let him get the ball in space and do work. Possibly some work as a wild eagle QB.

MGB: Decision was made a couple of days ago and is a key win for Seth Littrell

I see Nate Brooks liked the tweet. Those East TX boys are a tight bunch. Should work in our favor.

Love getting athletes like this. Give you the option of putting them at a number of positions.

Yeah, I think Tulsa recruited him as a safety but I think he'll play on the offensive side of the ball for us. He put up crazy rushing numbers this year.
