It would be best to call this selection the Penn State MVP that stands over six feet tall. Both Saquon Barkley and Trace McSorley played well enough to earn the MVP this week, but a breakout performance by a young receiver gets the nod instead.
Entering the fourth game of his redshirt sophomore season, Juwan Johnson had just three career receptions. He matched that number on the final drive of the game, adding four more along the way for a total of 7 versus the Hawkeyes. The much-anticipated 6’2”, 226-pound wideout has 11 career tackles on special teams and just ten total receptions including his total on Saturday.
