Former LSU WR Tyron Johnson Has Picked His Transfer School

At 6'1", 190# 5-Star, Tyron, was bigger faster and stronger than Calvin Ridley. TJ, the nation's #2 WR & LA's #1 recruit was the Offensive gem of the '15 class. A premier slot receiver, returner, w/balance and one-handed catches, known as "Odell Beckham Jr", "The Missing Piece". He worked his way up to 3rd on what has become a 2-man Landry/Beckham, Dural/Dupre depth chart (w/Davey, Russell, Perrilloux/Flynn that chart was 8-14 deep w/2x+ the PAs). Filling in for Dural he had 5 catches & his 2nd TD @ OM. Beckham, a 5'10", 170 lb 3* recruit said TJ had all the tools of a Biletnikoff winner. Beckham said Adam Henry would develop his full potential. Henry swooped in at the 24th hr, promising he & Miles had big plans for him, immediate PT, an open offense: All NSD, get his LOI, 'recruiting lies'. Henry left immediately for SF. TJ & his father felt deceived, trapped. Miles/Cam did not open the offense. He set new lows for Pass ATTs in 14-15, ranking last in the SEC and 120th in the FBS, with the slowest, least spread, 1-dimensional 'O' 3 yrs running, a 9-9 SEC-W, 14-10 SEC record. The Ravens fired Cam for his 5-yr failure to develop an offensive identity, develop Flacco or protect him, no tempo, spread, or Passing game. His 3-WR utilization was the lowest in the NFL, long isolation routes into double teams. Miles/Cam lost 3 consecutive SEC West games in double-digit blowouts not seen since 1966. Dinardo did it 1999, 2 yrs after he let his "Chavis" DC go and he was fired like Miles without a Jindal political crony pardon. Miles blamed player execution not his Coaching, said he did not give a damn, was not going to change, and would continue to pick the plays that fit his out-dated scheme, confirming what other coaches, and his own COACHES say - It is NOT the players, but his stubborn, pigheaded, failure to evolve. QBs & WRs "come to LSU & block for Leonard" was openly voiced by Dural & Dupre by a TEAM whose skill players were under-utilized in pursuit of a Heisman.

I wish him the best. It was the right thing to do. He just seemed out of sorts when he did play.IMO he just didn't seem to fit in. But that's just my observation...

Good luck to him. Hope he starts there.

Another home grown star WR that we lose because of our run dedicated offense which better pick up this year if we are to beat Ole Miss and Alabama. Good Luck TJ with the Cowboys and I know we will see you in the NFL.

No chest.

Well, I don't wish you luck. I hope you get beat out at Oklahoma State and learn a life lesson about work ethic.

Good for him and good luck.

Good for him. I expect he'll have a lot more catches.

wtf?? Next year he would of been the 1 or 2.

Best of luck. Hope he does well there unless we meet up

Good luck TJ.

His clear #2 to LSU if I remember correctly. Best of luck to you.

That's a good place for him

Well, bye

he will be able to show his skills there....Good luck TJ!!!!!

Happy for him. I understand his frustration with the offense.
