He planned to transfer immediately following the season, as did two other guys who expect to play good minutes next season but have since changed their minds with Diaco gone.Outside chance he got the word that someone not yet known to the fan base is transferring in. That's always a possibility with any of these guys that decommitted or are transferring out. With the staff coming in I wouldn't be surprised if there are a few pleasant surprises come signing day

Next Joe Williams? Minus the credit cards
I think we've seen what RonJon can do plenty. He is not Joe Williams.
Best of luck to the young man, and I would have loved to have seen him come back and given us depth. But he has one year of eligibility left, he is not a game changer and he isn't really a fit for Auburn's offense that requires TBs to hit the LOS quickly.
Yep, probably has been asked to switch to FB and not interested. I always liked how this kid played, however I'm also excited for Hopkins, Vickers and to make room for these other RBs we are pursuing like Blackshear, Scott, Mensah, etc.
Sorry; if I'm reading that right - there were two players that were going to transfer but after Diaco was fired they decided to stay?

I am still very surprised we'd get his QB/OC. That's an insane catch.
Division 2: often very good at that level, but still would expect Johnson to be able to hook on with a 1-AA program. Good luck wherever he lands.Valdosta State
Good luck to Ron Jon. The way the previous staff utilized him was criminal - 3rd down back, gave him the ball when everyone knew we would run, etc. That being said- he didn't bowl over tacklers and wasn't shifty enough to make them miss. Not a great pass catcher and I don't blame him for not hitting holes with the o lines he ran behind. My biggest takeaway for him as a tailback was that he did not have good vision. I hope he goes somewhere where he can be coached and has a great senior year.
