  After Auburn's top three pass-catchers from 2020 decided to leave for the NFL, it was apparent the door was open for a less-heralded wide receiver to seize the moment and earn more playing time. It's still early in spring practice, but sophomore wide receiver Ja'Varrius Johnson seems primed to be that player. Johnson, a 5-foot-10, 159-pound player from Trussville, entered the year having played in only one game during his first two seasons with the Tigers but is already making an impression with the new Auburn coaching staff. Johnson handled first-team slot receiver duties during Thursday's practice - fellow sophomores Kobe Hudson and Elijah Canion were lined up out wide - and also fielded a few punts as he works to potentially be the Tigers' punt returner, too.

Johnson has a long way to go before the season opener on Sept. 4 arrives, but head coach Bryan Harsin has been impressed by what he's seen from No. 6 on offense. "I think Ja'Varrius has done a good job. He's been one of the more consistent players day in and day out just as far as his execution, his preparation," Harsin said after Thursday's practice. "He's played faster and he's done it more consistently. His execution today, I think there was a few plays he was in on - I don't know if it was on him necessarily - if he lined up or was misaligned. "We had a few things in there with the group he was in on and several other players at that position where our alignment and assignments need to improve." - Opelika-Auburn News
