A few months ago California junior college quarterback Stephen Johnson admitted he knew a little bit about the University of Kentucky football program but little about the players or coaches.

That changed after Kentucky coach Mark Stoops let offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson and receivers coach Tommy Mainord go and quarterbacks Patrick Towles and Reese Phillips both decided to transfer. New quarterbacks coach/offensive coordinator Darin Hinshaw and his boss, Eddie Gran, came from Cincinnati to UK and it didn’t take long for Hinshaw to reach out to Johnson.

Johnson joked Thursday that Hinshaw asked him to send a video of him throwing. Of course, Johnson had to go out, set up a video camera and then send the video to Hinshaw. But the UK coach liked what he saw and Johnson is now enrolled at UK

Johnson completed 58.3 percent of his passes for 3,210 yards, 34 touchdowns and seven interceptions in 10 games at College of the Desert in California last season after transferring from Grambling. He also gained 429 rushing yards and eight touchdowns on 126 carries.

It's good to here his confidence and hope he is a special player.

Those stats are awesome but it wasn't the SEC. Johnson is in for a rude awakening if he plays some games against SEC teams.
