Well MacArthur got waxed. I saw he had at least 1 TD, a 66 yard scamper that showed his talent. On this video you can see it at the 1:50 mark: Highlights

Rochester may have shut down the run because all of the highlights show MacArthur passing. I’d have just fed him the ball every time.

As a SDHS alum, it’s weird to see MacArthur playing at Stephen Decatur Middle School field. LOL.

Johnson-Cook finished with 93 rushing yards and one score on 10 carries, a large chunk coming from a 66-yard TD run at the start of the third.

Watched this video a few days ago and that one big run was still amazing. Johnson-Cook is the highlight reel to watch on an average team.

Looks like the team had to pass because Rochester was running it down their throats. I hope that coach gets creative cause if you just use him in the backfield the opposing defenses will key on Johnson-Cook. Different in size but he has the playmaking ability of IW. Flank him out, run WR/RB screens, etc. If Johnson-Cook gets any space he is moving the chains.

His size/speed is already eye-catching as a high school freshman. If his body continues to develop, then he will be a flat out cheat code. Kid is still learning the nuances of the game. I love that he’s wearing Illinois gloves…just hope he keeps them on for another 3+ years until Signing Day.

Did you notice that, at the end of his long TD run, he points to his Illini gloves? I think he was saying "That's for you Illini fans."

Yes I did and I’m hoping he doesn’t change out his gloves as he continues to garner college interest.

Is this the same DB that played for NC State and was suspended indefinitely from the team? An obvious red flag but I'm also not sure how he still has 3 years of eligibility. Maybe 2 years?

2020 - Covid Year
2021 - Played
2022 - Played 4 games before suspension (redshirt?)
2023 - Playing at Iowa Western CC
