CAMDEN COUNTY FOOTBALL COACH Welton Coffey II needs about a half second to name the fastest player on his team.
“It’s Ryan Johnson,” Coffey said. “I don’t have
any numbers in front of me, but I know it when I
see it.”
Johnson, who runs a 4.52-second 40-yard-
dash, is heading into what figures to be a break-
out senior season. He earned the trust of Coffey
late last fall by breaking big play after big play.
Although Johnson had only 17 carries through
the first four weeks, he finished as the team’s
home-run threat on offense and special teams.
Johnson led the Wildcats in rushing average for the season with 6. 8 yards per carry, and was the Wildcats’ leader
in rushing yardage twice in
the month of November despite the fact that he never
had more than eight
carries in a game.
On the season, he
also had two punt-
return touchdowns
of more than 50
yards, although
one was negated due to a blocking penalty.
“We work on specific speed drills, but it comes
naturally to me,” Johnson said. “We work on it so
everyone can use everything they have, and I’ve
always had a little more speed than everyone else.”
Johnson started running track in fifth grade,
and has continued to compete in the 100, 200,
hurdles and long jump through high school. He
says he started to get a sense he was gifted with
speed in eighth grade.
“My eighth-grade year, I noticed I was faster
than everyone else,” Johnson said. “I played base-
ball, basketball, football and ran track, and there
weren’t many people who could keep up. There
were a few; I guess I’m not that much faster.”
There are certainly coaches who have
game-planned to stop Johnson who would
beg to differ. This season, Johnson will
look to carry the momentum he generated
last season as a change-of-pace back,
occasional punt returner and defensive
back. During the spring, he spent the bet-
ter part of Camden County’s speed-training
workouts running in front of the pack.
“Ryan’s a fine young man, and he’s one of
the most dangerous players I’ve seen in the open
field,” Coffey said. – Dan Guttenplan
