AUSTIN JOHNSON
DESALES, P
Height/weight: 6-2/185.
Year: Senior.
College: Louisville.
Why he’s on the team: Averaged 39 yards on 37 punts, with a long of 67 yards and four inside the 20-yard line. Made 41 of 47 PAT tries and was 7 of 8 on field-goal attempts, with a long of 42 yards. Also played quarterback, passing for 1,420 yards and 13 touchdowns and rushing for 738 yards and nine scores.
Coach’s take: “Many, many times he flipped the field for us and put the other team in bad field position. He’s going to be very much missed. We’ll figure something out, but we’re not going to find anybody who’s going to punt like Austin.” — Harold Davis
