Can you tell me what you know about him? What kind of player is he? Is he physical?

His highlights are unreal.. I would love to have him in the 2015 class. I can't seem to find them up on youtube anymore, however.

Never saw him play in person but from everything I have been reading he is very physical and elusive. On 247, they speak very highly of him. As you can see he is ranked the #1 player in Louisiana as of now but I know that could change over time.

Damn...STUD! This state produces insane prospects year in and year out.

Elusive was a good way to describe this kid, btw,

They really do. Usually, you see all a prospect's best plays in the beginning of his tape to catch your attention.. but with TBJ, there really isn't any way to differentiate his good plays from his great plays. This kid is special.

The offer came right after the 2015 rankings are posted? Funny coincidence.

So this is also concerning Johnson, but slightly off topic. I just went through 247's Louisiana rankings and next year's class looks really deep. Not as top heavy as this year, but 16 Louisiana players are in 247's top 225 for 2015.

Do the recruiting gurus here feel this is an accurate representation of the 2015 class? Or is it just that Shea and Sony have gotten their evaluations in relatively early and we can expect to see LA prospects fall as other states get more players scouted?

Or the rankings came out right before the recruiting picnic this weekend. Just another way of framing it.

I thought the exact same thing..which I feel is the perfect complement to the 2014 class.

Yeah, nice try there, Brewhan...Les obviously had no idea about this kid prior to the release of the rankings, and then he offered immediately upon seeing 247's scouting report.

Awesome highlights for a sophomore, he's fun to watch. Watching him run and his body type kind of remind me of Michael Crabtree.

Pretty impressive highlights. He also brings the ball to the ref after every play which I like as well.

I like that, too...it makes me feel like he won't kick people in the head or punch people in the ear or smoke pot or talk about taking plays off or cause divide in the locker room.
