Beau Johnson News, Rumors, Updates - Georgia Southern Eagles | FOX Sports

Snags three passes in opener Johnson had three catches for 25 yards in Saturday's 30-25 win over Gardner-Webb.

Impact Johnson entered Saturday having caught just six passes in five career games, so his three snags on the day seem to be a sign that Chad Lunsford and crew are ready to involve the tight end more in the offense. A return from presumed starting quarterback Justin Tomlin (academic issues) for a Week 3 clash with Arkansas should provide more indication on what the Eagles' attack will look like this season.

Aiming for larger impact in 2021 Johnson finished 2020 with just six catches for 101 yards but is targeting a larger impact in 2021, Nathan Dominitz of the Savannah Morning News reports.

Impact Johnson's 2020 season ended early due to an ankle injury, but he should be healthy and ready to give it a go as the Eagles' top tight end again this season. He won't have expected starter Justin Tomlin available for the first two games of 2021 due to academic issues, so it remains to be seen how Johnson will connect and prepare for the likely switch once Tomlin is ready to return.
