Montrell Johnson looking to lead Gators’ backfield in 2024

Florida running back Montrell Johnson is back for his senior season and is expected to lead the Gators’ backfield in 2024. In three seasons at the collegiate level and two in the SEC, Johnson’s totaled 2,496 rushing yards and 27 touchdowns, eclipsing 800 yards and 5.2 yards per carry in each of his three seasons.

The New Orleans, Louisiana native has received at least 152 carries every year, but that number could spike this season as Johnson sits atop the Gators’ depth chart heading into fall camp.

“I expect to get the ball more coming into the future this next season,” Johnson said on managing his workload.
