2016 Mississippi State Football Opponents to Know: Xavier Johnson

I want to spend the next thirty days looking at the players and head coaches of each Mississippi State football opponent. These are the people who will have the biggest impact on how successful or unsuccessful the Bulldogs season in 2016.

Today we look at arguably the most dynamic offensive player returning to the South Alabama. That would be Junior Running Back Xavier Johnson.

Stats to Know:

  • Rushing Yards: 956
  • Yards Per Carry: 6.6
  • Touchdowns: 7

Xavier Johnson was a steady, consistent running threat as a redshirt sophomore in 2015 for the Jaguars.
