TCU linebacker Jawuan Johnson returned to his high school days last weekend against Kansas State. Or at least it felt like it.
Johnson found himself making tackles all over the field along with TCU cornerback Jeff Gladney. The old New Boston High teammates each registered 10 tackles on the day, tying for the team lead.
TCU is known for its speed on defense, just like those New Boston teams with Johnson (who played safety in high school) and Gladney roaming the secondary.
“We had a lot of speed,” Johnson said of his high school team.
