Matt Johnson

Johnson took the Bowling Green program to the next level last year, throwing for 3,467 yards (9.4 YPA) and 25 touchdowns, adding 238 yards and five touchdowns on the ground. He could be even more productive this season, as Bowling Green hired Dino Babers (Eastern Illinois) as its new head coach. Babers turned Jimmy Garoppolo into an extremely productive quarterback at the FCS level, implementing a high-tempo, pass-heavy scheme. Johnson has the support of a strong running game and a balanced WR rotation featuring a shifty big-play threat in Ronnie Moore as well as 6-3 red-zone threats Gehrig Dieter and Chris Gallon.
