“One area where I do feel better as of today than I felt last year is I feel like we’re deeper at returner,” Troy head coach Jon Sumrall said.
Jon Johnson Two Wiregrass products – Dothan’s Jabre Barber and MJ Johnson of Enterprise – give Troy’s kick return game a couple of dynamic playmakers going into the season opener against Stephen F. Austin on Saturday night at Veterans Memorial Stadium beginning at 6 p.m.
People are also reading… “In the kickoff return, MJ is going to take the opening kickoff return for us. I’m fired up about what he has done for us in training camp. And we have a lot of guys in kick return game, too, behind MJ that are more than capable. But I do think that’s an area we need to grow and become more explosive than we did last year.
Sumrall is impressed with what Johnson has shown during the preseason as a true freshman and is glad to have Barber back on the field for more reasons than one. Sumrall reflected back on his time as an assistant at Troy when Enterprise native Marcus Jones, who starred with the New England Patriots during his rookie season last year, gave the Trojans one of the most electric kick returners in the nation before he transferred to Houston to complete his college career.
“TJ Jackson is back with our team,” Sumrall said. “His status as regard to playing Saturday is still pending. You’ll probably find out right before game time what I’m going to do there, but TJ is with the team and is practicing and glad to have him back in the fold within our program after a suspension.”
