Ronald Johnson making a strong impression at the Senior Bowl

Just a quick note on RoJo...

Ronald Johnson from USC is probably the most well-rounded wideout on the South. He high-pointed one ball, reached behind him to make a difficult catch on another. His routes are polished and crisp, and he sells his fakes well.

Good to see he is making some noise.

On the other hand things are different for Kristofer O'Dowd...

USC C/G Kris O’Dowd is very lacking in base strength. He got pushed backwards on almost every rep and was unable to get much surge in run blocking. He just doesn’t have the strength to turn shoulders or seal a seam.

This should not be a surprise as there were numerous times that USC's run blocking schemes looked atrocious at times throughout the season.

Regardless, I am glad to see our guys out there...

Kris O has an awesome family; we met his folks four years ago up in section 23. He doesn’t need the NFL to be a success. Best wishes to him, he gave it his all and will always be a distinguished Trojan.

Hope he makes it too

I wouldn’t read too much into one “practice report” from some dude that we’ve never heard of.

The Quintessential Trojan

Ronald Johnson has been nothing if not stellar- on the field and in the classroom in his four years here at USC. The way he’s conducted himself as a teammate and student has been a breath of fresh air, considering all the hype surrounding his 5-star recruiting-ranking. We know, all too well, how “some” over-hyped recruits behave and operate once they enter a D1 program: prima-donnas, disgruntled, entitled, disrespectful, selfish, and anger- and character issues, just to define a few.

RoJo had none of those problems.

The turnover at the flanker position has been incredible at USC for the past 10 years. With the graduation of a Keary Colbert, we got Mike Williams. With the graduation of a Steve Smith, we got a Ronald Johnson.

I hope RoJo all the best in his post-USC life. Guys like him, I hate to see leave. I hope he is as proud to be a Trojan as we are for having him. Good luck, much love and peace to you- RoJo, the quintessential TroBro.

Positve Review on O'Dowd

Who do you believe? How about none of them. :)

Sportsline Sr. Bowl Report

Center Kristopher O’Dowd didn’t play in a bowl game this season because of USC’s probation status. But his ability to anchor against Taylor, Jenkins and other talented defensive linemen on the South team was impressive. That sort of strength, his 6-4, 303-pound frame and mobility, give him a chance to be a top-100 pick.
