Oklahoma State Football: Top five names to watch in 2017
5. Tyron Johnson
Position: Wide Receiver
Class: Sophomore
Former School: LSU
Back in August, former LSU Tigers wide receiver Tyron Johnson announced that he transferred to OK State, according to NOLA.com. Johnson committed to LSU in 2014 as a five-star recruit. However, he only spent one season actually playing with the Tigers. In that season in 2015 he caught nine passes for 150 yards and two touchdowns.
Johnson offers the Pokes another weapon to add to their already vast arsenal of wide receivers. Alongside Washington, McCleskey, Ateman, Lacy, and Dillon Stoner, Johnson gives the Pokes six viable options at the position.
Even though Johnson started his college football career in 2015, he still has three years of eligibility left. If he does not get much playing time in 2017, he could still be a key part of the team in 2018 and 2019.

Johnson is a tall receiver with great hands, breakaway speed, and an elite vertical. Very few OK State receivers on the roster right now possess athletic matching that of Johnson.
