Brandon Johnson taking a redshirt this year

Per CJP.

Very very smart move for him. Love the decision and good to know we will have a veteran playing snaps at WR next year.

True VFL!

A very unselfish move. Obvious he wants an opportunity to prove himself. True VFL!!

 

[DiderotsGhost]

Makes sense. His talent is being un-utilized behind Jennings, Callaway, and Palmer right now.

Bailey or Brian to Brandon for 6! Next year.
Killer Bs.

Saving him and the full playbook for UF next year

It helps next year. Returning experience at WR, which will be hard to come by with all the upcoming departures.

Still can't believe Jones xferred. He could have been a starter next season and played some this one. Maybe he has a plan, but it looks dumb to me.

I’d have to guess that this staff were not fans.
Palmer, Johnson, Gibbs and Tillman would be a decent start to build on. They need an immediate impact guy in recruiting though.

Maybe so. But he look big strong and fast. They got him the ball a time or two early so I figured he was progressing. Water under bridge I guess.

nice...he lead receivers in 2017...sort of disappeared since then...

GO BIG ORANGE...BEAT MISS ST!

Brandon Johnson, a senior is taking a voluntary redshirt so he can return for the 2020 season.
According to GoVols/247

Coach Jeremy 'the Possum' Pruitt. The Gators will never know what hits 'em in 2020!

Brandon’s uncle Greasy posted this on VN last Saturday......

I think this is good all around...next year it gives us the following:

WR: Palmer-Tillman
WR: Keyton-Gibbs
Slot: Johnson-Freshman (hopefully Jarrett, but even Hyatt or Calloway would bring a lot of speed/shiftiness IMO)

Definitely agree with this.

Sort of like how people were overlooking the drop-off at DL this season, the drop-off at WR next year is a big issue.

Palmer, Johnson, Gibbs, Tillman, and Keyton is a reasonable core, but there's no one there that stands out as big impact player / go-to receiver right now. Maybe one of those guys will emerge, but we definitely need to land another great WR and I'm not sure if we will.

Sounds like a fine young man. I hope it works out great for him.

I hope he has an experience similar to Travis Stephens...... seems like a smart move to me.

God bless him. This is a rare trait in this day and time.
