Wishing Happy Birthday to Arizona Football Freshman My-King Johnson! Read more about the future defensive star below.
The scouting report on Johnson: he's big, he's strong, he's fast, he's physical. More than anything, though, it's his motor that sticks out. The kid never gives up on a play. His highlight reel is filled with plays where an offensive lineman brings him down, or shoves him to the side, and Johnson emerges to make a play.
Johnson's Tempe team traveled to Tucson in August for a game against Catalina Foothills. Tempe was defeated quite handily — final score: 35-7 — but the Falcons had trouble containing Johnson, who sacked the quarterback three times and hurried him twice.
That quarterback? Rhett Rodriguez, an Arizona signee and the son of UA coach Rich Rodriguez.
On one hit, Johnson sped around an overmatched defender and floored Rodriguez's blind side. The force of the hit knocked the ball out of Rodriguez's hands before he could throw it, and it took him a few seconds to stand up and gather himself for the next play.
Johnson will fit in nicely on the Wildcats' revamped defense.
Check out his highlights below!
