George Johnson brings Clemson a legit home-run threat in the backfield
Johnson is the kind of back who changes the math for defenses: Clemson’s 2026 RB preview calls him one of the fastest players on the roster and a legit 4.2-speed playmaker, while noting he can score from anywhere on the field. He isn’t being asked to be a 20-carry bruiser; his value is explosion, big-play juice, and versatility after posting 479 rushing yards, 4 rushing TDs, and 180 receiving yards at SMU in the 2025 season. If your team wants burst and mismatch potential, he fits nicely.
