11/09/20 - DE DJ Johnson, rSr/2023, Oregon

If luck is what happens when opportunity meets preparation, then DJ Johnson made his own fortune on Saturday. The Oregon tight end, who converted from defensive end during the spring and was fourth on the depth chart this week, got the opportunity to start due to multiple injuries at the position. Johnson's preparation amounted mostly to having played tight end in high school and practicing during the offseason, though his work with the starting offense only began late in the week after it was clear Hunter Kampmoyer and Cam McCormick would be out of Saturday's season opener. Despite the short time table, Johnson had five catches for 55 yards and a touchdown in his first career start to help lead No. 12 Oregon in a 35-14 win over Stanford at Autzen Stadium.

"Some guys just weren't available and DJ was and DJ stepped up, did it in the run game, did it in the pass game, did it in protection as well," Oregon coach Mario Cristobal said. "We asked a lot of a guy that was playing defense a year ago, had a pretty significant injury in the summertime, and just kept chopping wood and kept finding ways to just find work, learn the system, get healthy, and then it showed up tonight with not only with the touchdown, but with some other really significant important plays." Johnson, a 6-foot-5, 258-pound redshirt-junior, said he prepares every day as though he's going to play. "It wasn't nothing really different the first play running through it like we go through in practice every day and we've been going through it since we got the go ahead to start practicing," Johnson said. - The Oregonian
