Welcome to Niner Nation, Mr. Johnson.
10/6 interview
http://www.espn730.com/page.php?page_id=67
Kid sounds pretty intelligent. Thatās always a bonus in any player but especially a QB.
This kid looks like he fits Mullenās mold pretty well. As he described at Chalk Talk, he wants a QB that can throw the ball around but work in the spread and run if needed. This guy wonāt be a run first QB but is big enough to run and take a few hits. A guy like this will really benefit from a year of nutrition/lifting/practice and worse case scenario if someone beats him out for QB he can play defense. Thatās the key right now for this staff - the more athletes they recruit that have played multiple positions, the better.
I live in Hickory and work with people who have season tickets for Maiden football. My understanding is that he is a good kid and a good athlete. I expect him to be a contributor and I welcome him to Charlotte.
Have I paid my penance? 
Again, Welcome Matt. Sorry, but some people on this board are nerds. If you have a train in mind for them, please send us the road crossing to direct anyone on this board to that is interested in taking the jump. I donāt care about semantics. I only care that you are Niner material now.
[font=arial]Maiden boasted the conferenceās top offense, averaging over 385 yards a game but managed only 154 in trailing 14-10 at the half. The Blue Devils erupted for 245 yards after the break and squeezed a Matt Johnson 11-yard score between Jenkinsā touchdowns in finding the end zone on their first three possessions.[/font]
[font=arial]āIt came down to us containing their offense, and that was something we didnāt do in the second half,ā said Trojans head coach Randy Lowman. āAnd when you have to concentrate on stopping (Johnson), (Jenkins) can kill you.ā[/font]
[font=arial]Johnson provides the conferenceās top dual threat, entering the evening ranked third in the league (840 yards) and second in passing (644 yards). The Maiden senior signal caller finished with 104 yards on 24 carries and added 90 yards on 6-of-16 passing with one interception.[/font]
Moved a lot of posts that were way off topic to a separate thread. Certainly discussion on the level of Mattās talent is appropriate but the thread became about FBS vs. FCS, DI-A vs. DI-AA. Letās keep that separate. Love you guys and welcome to Niner Nation, Matt!
thank you very much, NLP.
and welcome for sure, matt! do it this season, and the second season down the road!!!
Thanks NLP. Those posts had gone way overboard.

Nice game when you are the focus of the D in almost every game. Hopefully he can get more accurate with his passsing (or more talented receivers) and the completion % improves.
Big thanks go to NLP for taking action.
Big thanks to NinerID for the information.
This player looks like he can be a major contributor one day.
Wait a secondā¦NLP is a moderator?

Youāre just jealous.
Maiden defeated Bandys 31-21 Friday night.

Okay, whew.
Good interview with Johnson from Friday nights game.

Johnson has been running track for quite sometime so obviously he has the potential to be a strong running QB or safety. But if we get a couple of big lineman to block for him then I am very interested to see what he can do.
Iāve heard that Johnson was our #1 priority at QB.
