With all the well deserved attention Logan Woodside is getting, and the excitement of Terry Swanson passing 3000 yards, I think these other 2 Rockets are not getting the attention they deserve for the seasons they are having. As I was looking over their stats, I was surprised how highly ranked both of them are nationally:
Diontae Johnson
4th All Purpose Yards (APY) per Game
8th Receiving Yards
9th Receiving TDs
9th Punt Return TDs
10th Receiving Yards per Game
12th Kickoff Return TDs
15th Combined Kick Returns
The 3 players ahead of him in APY are all RBs and have 100+ more touches each than Johnson.
His 1659 APY is 500+ more than the #2 MAC player
His 1003 receiving yards is only the 11th 100 yard season in UT history
The media is constantly talking about how unbelievable a returner that Darius Phillips of WMU is, but Phillips only has 40 more PR/KR yards than Johnson does, and Diontae has 6 fewer returns.
And he's only a sophomore
Jameson Vest
2nd in FG per game
9th in Points Scored
12th in Points per Game
12th in FG%
His 20 FGs this season is 3rd best all time at UT
His 52 career FGs is already 4th best at UT
His 147 career XP made is 3rd best at UT
His 303 career points is 4th best at UT
He seems destined to shatter nearly every kicking record in UT history. (If the media guide is accurate which I have my doubts because I know it left out some of Detmer's records.)
He is 3 points away from his 3rd consecutive 100 point season.
And he still has 1 season to go.
