Last season, Montrell Johnson Jr. split snaps with former Florida running back Trevor Etienne.

Despite having to share the ball, Johnson was able to amass 817 yards and 5 touchdowns over 152 carries. Johnson also had 30 receptions for an additional 236 yards and a touchdown.

As Johnson heads into his senior season, he is expected to be the go-to guy for the Gators, especially with Etienne transferring to Kirby Smart's program at Georgia.
