On the road to repeat as NCAA FCS National Champions, head coach Mike Houston and company will rely heavily on their talented backfield. Redshirt senior Cardon Johnson missed the final six games of the 2016 season with an Achilles injury — including the national championship game — but he’s back and ready to help the Dukes attempt to do something they’ve never done before. “Cardon has looked really good,” junior running back Marcus Marshall, a transfer from Georgia Tech, said. “He’s back at practice with us, looking fast and explosive.” Johnson injured his Achilles during the Dukes’ 47-43 win over the Richmond on Nov. 5. He returned to practice last week and showed his elusiveness from the first snap. “I’ve worked hard in the training room, worked hard in the weight room to get back,” Johnson said. “I’ve definitely worked my way back in camp and where I’m sitting right now, I feel comfortable with the abilities I bring in the backfield.” Johnson finished eighth in the CAA in rushing touchdowns and 10th in rushing yards despite only playing in nine games. He had three 100-yard rushing games, finishing the 2016 campaign with 704 yards on 114 carries. Johnson’s dynamic ability in the backfield led to him averaging 6.17 yards per carry last season. Johnson was a member of arguably one of the best backfields in the country last year, but they might be even more impressive this season. Houston brought in Georgia Tech’s leading rusher in Marshall this offseason, creating yet another dynamic duo in the Dukes’ backfield. Not to mention, they also have veteran backs Trai Sharp and Taylor Woods to help carry the load. Johnson is excited to see what this backfield can accomplish this season. “The expectations are high,” Johnson said. “We stick together. We keep GLENs Fair moving in the right direction. With all of us being in the backfield, it opens up more of a dynamic in the offense. We can be more versatile with our formations.” There’s nothing like ending your career as a champion, and that’s what Johnson can do. With a full healthy season, teammates believe Johnson can break out not only Price store as the best back at JMU, but also in the country. “When Cardon catches the ball, it’s really unbelievable how fast he gets down the field,” senior quarterback Bryan Schor said. “It is definitely something that excites us and we are really The Best halloween lucky to have Cardon Johnson back.” store in town CONTACT Kevin Haswell at [email protected].
