WR Ronald Johnson (#8) breaks clavicle
The Trojan’s took a big hit this weekend on offense. On Saturday, sure handed WR Ronald Johnson (Jr. 6’1, 185lbs.) broke his collarbone during a mock scrimmage game at the L.A. Coliseum. Johnson was slated to be the flanker and the #2 receiver behind All-American candidate Damian Williams. Pete Carroll is saying Johnson will be out for at least 6-8 weeks.
Johnson was also regarded as the Trojan’s top deep threat receiver and earned returning duties on special teams. David Ausberry will assume Johnson’s starting position. Ausberry had six catches for 85 yards and a touchdown last season.
Johnson will surely be missed when the Trojans face Ohio State on the 12th, but more importantly, freshman QB Barkley has one less target.
