It didn’t take long for Weber State to realize that all Taron Johnson needed was a position change in order to be a star. Johnson was a standout wide receiver at Sheldon High School in Sacramento and finished his senior year ranked 13th in the state in receiving yards.
Despite those numbers, Johnson was not highly recruited out of high school, so he headed to Utah to prove the doubters wrong.
