Anthony Johnson gives Franklin Pierce a compact, efficient RB with upside
In the 2025 season, Anthony Johnson appeared in 10 games for Franklin Pierce and produced 202 rushing yards, 6 receptions for 100 yards, and 1 touchdown; in 2026, he is listed as a 5-foot-8, 200-pound sophomore RB wearing No. 21. His profile suggests a versatile back who can contribute as a runner and receiver, with enough bulk to handle contact and enough twitch to stay involved in space. The bigger takeaway: he looks like a useful, multipurpose piece rather than a pure volume bell cow—good if you want flexibility and depth, especially in a system that values catching the ball out of the backfield.
