    Key stats

    2013: 58 catches for 920 yards and 12 touchdowns; 43 tackles, one interception, five pass break-ups

    Quote: “Even though he’s only 6-1, 6-2, he goes up and gets the ball at any point. He does things up in the air that you just can’t coach.” - FALCONS OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR DUSTIN CURTIS
Denzel Johnson started playing football to be a good example for his younger brother. He had no clue that becoming a football player would have such a big impact on his own future.

“When I was in eighth grade and my little brother started playing Pop Warner football, I said I had to play. I had to get him right,” Johnson said.
And here is the update on his recruitment ...
Passion for the game and his desire to be a role model combined to drive Johnson to the top of South Carolina’s 2015 recruiting class. His drive has garnered attention from 10 major programs and four scholarship offers so far – from Clemson, Notre Dame, South Carolina State and Liberty.

Johnson, a 6-foot-2 wide receiver and defensive back for the A.C. Flora Falcons, is a three-star prospect, ranked 25th in the state by 247Sports.

Good size, love his ball skills on offense, they will translate well to the defensive side. I like how he keeps his form on tackles too...will keep him from breaking down in run support. we are in an uphill battle with Notre Dame and Clemson offering him but I would love to see his name with Liberty next to it come signing day next year

Nice win for us with UND AND Clemson in his reported offers. definitely is a candidate for safety and maybe 2v2 or 3v3 matchup at corner. he probably could match up with a tight end in some situations as well

Congrats to my boy @ririunleashed on the commitment to LU!

From the same school, his name is Rion Davis. Looks like he is a 2 :star prospect. I'll wait to hear from Duke or Mason, I'm sure they will find out.

Here is the link to his Espn profile.
