Chris Foster (RB Coach) on Johnson: “We couldn’t be more excited to welcome Ronny into the Northwestern family. Ronny is a dynamic running back that has the ability to score a touchdown every time he touches the football. His home run threat ability, paired with his unique athleticism make him a very exciting addition to the ‘Cats. There is no doubt that Ronny will give his all, on and off the field, in order to continue to build on the strong foundation he possesses, while also making others better around him.”
