Hunter Johnson


Nov 23, 2020, 11:58 AM

Northwestern is having a good season and are ranked but Hunter Johnson has not played at all this year. I know he had a ton of personal problems last year but am curious if anyone knows what has happened to him this year. Thanks!

In the nicest way possible...he isn’t very good at playing QB

Hunter was recruited by Clemson to be part of a very spread offense. I'm sure the Wildcats' schemes are very different. I wonder if that transition has been a bit tough. Also, let's face it, he doesn't have the explosive players at Northwestern he had at Clemson. And as it has already been pointed out, his mom's situation last year was very difficult. I would give him another shot. He was highly recruited.

All I know is that he took a break

from football last season to help care for his mom and her breast cancer fight . . . Don’t be too quick to judge . . . It’s not a good look.

"Don’t be too quick to judge . . . It’s not a good look."

What the heck does that mean? All I was doing was to try to find out how he is and why he isn't playing. I don't need some wise guy trying to start trouble with the comment you made! :(

Peyton Ramsey is evidently pretty good and had been expected to take over when he transferred.

Maybe Hunter can take over next year.

He might have been "over-evaluated" coming out of HS


Nov 23, 2020, 12:38 PM

He ran a run first offense in HS and had to adjust to play in a Spread/RPO Offense at Clemson..

I'll say this..

He looked really in mop up duty in 17'...

But some dude named Trevor came in the spring of 18... And.. Well... The rest they say is history...

I think so!

He had all the measurables and "looked the part"! This is why year in and year out former 3 star guys enter the NFL. While those slam dunk 5 star players don't always. To me if you were a 5 star; you should be going NFL if you improve just a little bit in college.

But, as is often the case, recruiting services only know so much. Summer camps in shorts and 7 on 7 can only tell you so much. Our coaching staff has done a masterful job of finding talent others have not valued as much. Hunter was a great kid and had all the measurables. Of course, he was given a Clemson opportunity to compete for the starting job at Clemson.
I like that he never belly ached or felt done wrong(not to my knowledge anyway). Keep it moving and take advantage of other opportunities Hunter! Take care of mom and get back at it after she gets well!

I think back to how both Hunter and Zerrick looked at

Syracuse when they played in the second half. With all those weapons, neither could make anything happen.

He plays a vital role in competing and getting other QBs to
