  Amari Johnson has had to wait his turn. In a new college football world in which players regularly enter the NCAA transfer portal instead of riding the bench, the Miami native has stayed loyal to UCF. Despite a coaching change halfway through his four years and sitting on the depth chart behind wide receivers such as Gabriel Davis, Jacob Harris and Tre Nixon - all in the NFL now - Johnson never wavered. "That was pretty much the best thing for me," Johnson said. "Just to learn from those guys and be able to take what those guys did on the field, [I] implement it into my style of play." Johnson showed why the wait was worth it during Saturday's spring game when he caught 4 passes for 66 yards and 2 touchdowns, including the first score of the intrasquad scrimmage. "It felt really good," he said. "Going into my senior year, it just felt good to be able to perform at a high standard for the crowd and for my coaches and improve from last spring. Everything felt good." Johnson arrived at UCF in the summer of 2019 and caught a 49-yard touchdown pass in his debut against FAMU. That season he appeared in seven games as a receiver and on special teams. The next year he saw the field in two more games, but only caught 3 passes for 12 yards while mostly playing on special teams. In Gus Malzahn's first year in Orlando, Johnson's role expanded as he became a jack of all trades. - Orlando Sentinel
