Gerard Johnson brings veteran burst and all-purpose juice to Norfolk State
In the 2016 season, Gerard Johnson was Norfolk State’s versatile spark, finishing with 89 carries for 419 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns while also adding 27 receptions for 260 yards and earning Battle of the Bay Offensive MVP honors in a win over Hampton[2]. His game stands out for short-area quickness, receiver-like utility out of the backfield, and proven clutch value — the kind of back who can punish defenses in space and provide steady all-purpose production when the Spartans need a reliable chain-mover[2][7].
