Ronald Johnson is a wide receiver of University of Southern California (USC) football team.

College

In one game during his senior season he touched the ball four times, totaling 310 yards and four touchdowns. He was Rivals.com's top-ranked wide receiver, and that's the where he will probably make the biggest immediate impact.

The Trojans have gaping holes at receiver with the departures of Dwayne Jarrett and Steve Smith. Junior Patrick Turner is the most experienced returner at the position. The 6-foot, 190-pound Johnson, who spurned his home-state Wolverines to join USC, will get every opportunity to help fill the void.

"He's a little bit new to the position ... so there's a lot of things that are new to him, but you see a lot of natural ability in him," USC offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian said. "He's got exceptional hands, very good speed, has a good feel for the game."

RoJo and his blazing 4.4 40-speed are also getting a look on punt returns. [ [http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/cory_mccartney/08/13/impact.freshmen/1.html SI.com - Writers - Instant impact (cont.) - Monday August 13, 2007 9:53PM ] ]
