"2016 Stats: 543 rushing yards, 293 receiving yards, 231 kick-return yards, 213 punt-return yards, 14 total TD

Rushing ability: Though he has returned more than 50 combined punts and kickoffs in his career, D'Ernest Johnson is more of a bruiser than a cruiser. As just mentioned above, Quadree Henderson ran for at least 30 yards on more than 13 percent of his carries, but in 228 career carries, Johnson has not had a single run go for more than 24 yards. And yet, he was a consistent source of good yardage last year, averaging 4.9 per carry with eight scores. 

Receiving ability: Over the past two seasons, Johnson has 54 receptions, with nine of them going for touchdowns. The last time he was on the field was his most impressive performance of all, finishing the Birmingham Bowl win over South Carolina with six receptions for 95 yards—setting a new career high in both categories. And with 2016 No. 1 target Rodney Adams out of the picture, Johnson had more receptions last year than any other returning Bull. 

What to expect in 2017: After three years of patiently waiting while Marlon Mack rushed for more than 3,600 yards, it's finally Johnson's turn to shine. He may well still finish behind dual-threat QB Quinton Flowers on USF's rushing board, but there's no question that Johnson will enter the fall as the No. 1 RB and one of the top options in the passing game.

Whether he continues to serve as the primary kick- or punt-return man remains to be seen, but he should put up big numbers regardless. And considering South Florida is one of the top candidates for an undefeated season, it just might be worth your time to look up Johnson's odds of winning the Heisman."

Nice find!  I hope the CFB world knows his name well after next year.

I like how they ended it with the Heisman reference.  This is the first time we've ever had two players that people even referenced could be candidates for the Heisman (knowing the chances are extremely thin to none)... but having them both on the same team and seniors points to an offense that could be nearly unstoppable when this thing gets rolling.  I find that cool.
