Louisiana running back, Montrell Johnson, entered the transfer portal on January 5th of 2022. Eight days later, Johnson transferred to the Florida Gators. This was one of the more impactful additions of the offseason.
Johnson was just a true freshman in 2021, but that didn’t stop Napier from giving him the football. Johnson ran the ball 162 times, totaling 838 rushing yards and a team high 12 touchdowns.
My preseason offensive MVP has not disappointed through six weeks of the 2022 season. Johnson has a team high 46 carries for 368 yards and five touchdowns, which ranks T-2 in the SEC.
