Duke Johnson Highlights - Future Miami Hurricane

[P3RF3CTCH09S]

He's a beast but I don't think UM was the best choice for him.

[1131justin]

@P3RF3CTCH09S probably a F.S.U fan

[P3RF3CTCH09S]

@1131justin Yes i am but Me being a FSU fan has nothing to do with my opinion...IMO FSU wouldnt be a good school for duke either I think Oregon was the best situation for him...Miami doesn't know how to use there speed they had 4 guys run sub 4.4's at combine and there Offense still struggled???not good my dude hopefully he can bring that big play ability like Lamar Miller did..

[MikeZiggy23]

best video i've ever seen... loyal kid, knows what it means to be a cane... the U holds up babyyyyy

[Keena30212]

I swear this kid reminds me of a prime Clinton Portis.....vision, speed, acceleration, and footwork....i really don't know if he can , but if he can block as well he's going to be a really solid back.

[mfitz73]

this guys is good. Hope he does actually go to the U. on a side note... its painfully obvious that hS football players in florida dont know how to form tackle.

[idontneedalongname3]

I don't see how he isn't the number one back this year. Watching his tape compared to others, he is the only one showing actual skill as well as intangibles. Don't show me a tape with a kid running untouched into the endzone through wide open holes and arm tackles and tell me he's "the chosen one." Let me see vision, speed, finesse, endurance, etc." Maybe his weight room numbers aren't wowing the guys making these lists or whatever but "COME ON MAN!" This cat is legit. Best wishes to Duke

[yaccgoon]

@yaccgoon @yaccgoon @yaccgoon @yaccgoon FOLLOW FOLLOW FOLLOW!!!! chance to win prizes

[Sololobo2112]

this kid reminds me of portis with a little bit of frank gore. If he can stay healthy and um gets a good QB UM could be on their way back

[phaZonJJ27]

u see the motion man's block at 2:23?

[MrKyleSchick]

@phaZonJJ27 noone else would notice that. is that you?

[DevinJMcintyre]

looks like the U is gonna be gettin a heisman soon

[jt101jr]

[tesseract77]

I'm not a Miami, FSU or UF fan but I just want to say that I have no idea how that Marshall kid is ranked over players like this. Duke might have one of the best bursts I've ever seen straight out of high school.

[thefsufan1]

great player but lets be real the canes suck

[42069fah]

@thefsufan1 the canes do not suck dude don't be arrogant. its just that vs fsu, this shit aint happnin. =)

[TheBookDaddy]

Taking nothing away from Duke, but that's the best blocking I've ever saw

[MrNollbra]

just wait til he in orange and green UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[pinoyjosh69]

Welcome to the []_[].

[cbailey727]

Craziest BURST ive ever seen 4:27



[x0rcist]

@cbailey727 holy shit. TRUTH

[aerosteel2009]

@cbailey727 running the hardest anyone's ever ran u can just see him pumpin those legs like crazy

[Freddie89able]

Thats my dawg duke that boy Fiee

[GENERALSPARTAN27]

I like this player's running style at the point of attack, he'll be great at Miami, if Golden recruits linemen that can knock the d-line on their ass and get into the secondary, then Johnson's speed will do the rest

[mainevent608]

imma take ma talents 2 SOUTH beach

[mainevent608]

yoo its our Time its our TIME were going for the BOWL BOUND WIN IT all baby ALL about U gators goes DOWN the U goes on TOP once again

[FuherJoeBeezy]

DIRRRT!!!!!!! he's too grimy. can't wait to see him in orange and green

[ufretricky12]

When you go to a Hurricane game and Duke gets the ball the crowd will say "DUUUUUUUUUKKKEEE" I think this kid can win the heisman! He's gonna turn a lot heads.

[aelcanes]

his heart and refusal to lose is better than his ability. (reference Edward Reed #20)

[Glanheat305]

ok seriously the kid weighs in at 188 he wieghed 170 after his sophmore season and will be atleast 5-9 190 195 when he takes the field at UM (average running back weight) and hes not small nor a dam scat back and if anything he had to prove that he can run outside because his natural running style was a between the tackles runner and hes playing 6a football in south florida against future college stars every week and draws comparisons to frank gore who was around the same wieght at that age

[youngdawk]

also check my boy out he too is the real deal also 5-9 175 Dalyn Dawkins a Jr. RB of the 2011 national champs Lou. Ky Trinity Shamrocks just type in 2013 RB DALYN DAWKINS #1 TRINITY HIGH SCHOOL (KY) make you are viewing his new jr highlight which is 9min 16sec long posted 1-20-12

[youngdawk]

Don't listen the to the nay sayer who say he can't get it done in college cause he's 5-9 170. with his determination & speed he will get it done on all levels. This kid is the real deal

[thugswannabee]

Clark Kent in cleats

[RobsFutureFootball]

You are right, they have produced better runningbacks than any other team. Not sure why you are telling the world this, it has nothing to do with how good Duke is at the moment. As for Duke scoreing 5 TD in the title game, again hes a 5-9 170 pound bullet who is a great High school running back. Unfortunitly a high school defense is nothing like a good/great college defense. At the next level he will fail to break most arm tackles, and he will be playing against opponents who can match his speed

[cpanthers88]

Miami has had and produced better runningbacks than FSU (or any other team) for the past 15 years.

Where was this Pender kid when Duke was scoring 5 td in the title game?

[henryandedward]

lol at 3:20 he points to an empty section. []_[]

[RobsFutureFootball]

Who said I was a FSU fan lol ? Yeah I think Pender is better, for legit reasons. He's bigger, stronger, and has the same amount of elusiveness as Duke Johnson. He isnt faster than him, but the kid can do everything Duke can and more.

-

Duke= Best change of pace back in Florida ( Athlete)

Pender= Best pure every down running back in Florida ( Running Back )

[gvelasquez21]

lol leave it up to an FSU fan to make a fool of himself. Duke is easily better than Mario Pender. And don't even have to mention that scrub James Wilder Jr. who isn't even in the same stratosphere as Duke. I guess he also forgets about a certain 5'9 175lb RB(same size as Duke) that went on to be the best RB FSU has ever had. Or do you not know enough of your own history to know who Warrick Dunn is?

[goinham25]

I think most people saying he wont succeed because of him being small forget Miami has one of the best strength and conditioning programs, not to mention that their famous for their Runningbacks. They know his weakness, they know he's small, they either want to work on it and make him a feature back or keep him a change of pace for Mike James and Clements. If they want him bigger, they can make him put on 15 pounds of muscle before the first game, TRUST ME.

[RobsFutureFootball]

I know all you Cane fans are in love with the kid, but im not going to sit here and read all these stupid comments without telling you the truth. He's got all the tools he needs to dominate the high school level, and only a few tools to work with at the College level. He is the perfect change of pace back, throw him in to keep the defense on their toes and take him out when they see it comming.

-

If anything he could be a Darren Sproles, Danny Woodhead, or Jacquizz Rodgers

[RobsFutureFootball]

James isnt that good ? Everytime he played LSU he got shut down, everytime Demps and Rainey played a good defense they got shut down, everytime Noel Divine played a good defense he got shut down. I dont even know why you mentioned Reggie Bush, he's 6 foot 200 pounds.

[305GIT4LIFE]

4:18 damn i think i seen him running while his feet were smoking lol dam he is the best running back ever to come from FLORIDA

[RobsFutureFootball]

Dominating? Im not even sure if he can be good at the college level. He is to small to break tackles consistently, hes fast but so is everyone else when he plays a good defense. Look at Oregon's small running backs when they played LSU, look at Jeff demps and Chris Rainey when they played Alabama, Georgia, LSU, and FSU. Small backs are good for one thing, changing the pace of the game. Duke is great change of pace back, nothing more.

[88Bigs88]

@RobsFutureFootball We all have seen small running backs become the the feature back and dominate on their respective teams. And the forth as you envidents are some of the great college defenses. you cannot use one or a couple of games to prove yourself fact.

[eb0nikz]

@RobsFutureFootball wait, when you say "small", you must be referring to guys like Reggie Bush and LaMichael James, right? right.

[arronnov]

@RobsFutureFootball Oregon plays with a small ass Offensive line. Miami Offensive live through the past 30yrs has had one the biggest Offensive lines in college football. Warrick Dunn play at FSU and 10yrs in the NFL. He's numbers speak for themselves. Warrick used to kill load Florida defenses. They couldn't do anything with him in the passing or running game.

[305Darkboy]

l STFU

v

[RobsFutureFootball]

Im sure the kid is strong, and im sure everyone who has seen him run knows he is quick, but this kid is going to struggle to break arm tackles from linebackers and cornerbacks. His heart might be big, but his frame and stature is too small. He *might* be the best back at the high school level, but in college he is just a change of pace back.

[goinham25]

@RobsFutureFootball I disagree, I think he can come close to dominating College as well, now nfl its all hard work, no one can really predict that.

[Glanheat305]

to be able to get the fan base that he has in so fl and to do the things that he has done in the past two years i beg to differ duke Is the best running back in the state of Fl and simply because he is the most competitive and he is a hell of alot stronger then his size shows and the angles that he creates with his feet will make him hard to tackle at the next level and he can lower his pads with amazing leverage and with enough speed to knock most people on thier heels hes highly underrated

[woooo269]

ill take him over Malcolm Brown any day. Duke is doing this in Dade County too. Thee recruiting hotspot in the country. Al Golden is a lucky man.

[RobsFutureFootball]

The kid is quick and can cut on a dime, but lets be real. He will not break alot of tackles at the next level, and he is not the best RB in the state of Florida. I love his energy though....

[donovan022]

lmao look at the block at 1:13

[colum4469]

the one dislike is probably a UF fan

[patricejns]

i look up to duke raw af

[speedy23CHW]

1:53 crack back fail

[Canetillidie]

when will this go mobile I cant view it mobile, cmon canefreak

[OmegaCane1]

Ok I don't follow recruiting but if this kid is not the best player in the nation I would like to see exactly who is...this is jaw dropping footage!

[hhshornsfootball32]

Duke Johnson= Portis/Willis/Lamar annnnddd well throw Gore in there too

[cockzilla12]

I like how the one highlight of him getting run down, why by another future hurricane at 4:22

[MultiCloud19]

@cockzilla12 i know buy the conerback from coral reef lmao thats funny

[DaUalldayx3]

@cockzilla12 whats his name

[cockzilla12]

@DaUalldayx3 Vernon Davis #3

[mitchmyhre17]

@GSalzer

Sounds like the exact kind if kid we need. We need some kids that know what the U is all about, who want to bring Miami back to the glory days, and will do anything to achieve that.

[Bumpintaco]

who needs lamar when we get him! goooo canes!

[GSalzer10]

3:28 if that guys head wasn't in the way.. that would of been the dirtiest juke ever.

[GSalzer10]

Seen him play twice.. Canes fans are going to have to start bringing multiple pairs of pants to the games.

[dinoinw]

Shout out to DUKE and hope u have a great career for the U these highlights were sick man keep up the good work...... Its all about the I_I

[generalresople2009]

funny thing is this is only six or 7 out of his 15 games this season

[genron187]

WOW...WOW..Wow

[Alteonify]

That stiff arm...

[AllAboutSoFloSports]

The Knee lift at 4:30 is just insane 

[lilvick89]

he is the best running back 2 use da stiff arm



[mitchmyhre17]

Was kind of scared when I heard Lamar was leaving, but between this kid, Mike James, and Eduardo Clements we'll be set. We just gotta hope this kid doesn't de-commit when he sees penalties being laid on Miami (although he had to have already seen that coming), and then he's gotta keep working to improve, and not just get content.

[GSalzer10]

@mitchmyhre17 Duke was wearing the Ibis hat on the sidelines of the state title.. kid is 200% a Miami Hurricane he bleeds orange and green.

[N1ckJu5t0wN3DU]

reminds me of trenton richardson

[blinddaname]

he is a good replacement 4 LAMAR MILLER

[chrisDWshoap]

Tell me he isn't the closest thing to Barry Sanders you've ever seen... Kid is straight up amazing []_[]

[christan111]

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE U! Duke will be the next great RB in a long line of great RBs from the U...... The future is bright in Miami...

[ajstud69]

Done watch this 3 or 4 times and cant syop saying WOW!!!! This young man is a beast and for all the na sayers due to his size, wait and see... Speed kills!!!

[jperson03]

4:18 his shoes start smoking!!!

[prod1gy3000]

and in that Vikings helmet, he looks a lot like Adrian Peterson

[MrDollhouseplay]

Can't view on my iPod? Darn it -_-

[prod1gy3000]

Nice downfield runner! Reminds me a bit of the Edge but has way more top-end speed. All of his moves are made going downhill.

[Brawnkowsky]

get this video out there though

[CSizzleTX]

He is a poor mans Johnathan Gray.

[BLaZ3iNG]

@CSizzleTX Jonathan Gray has one of the best O-Lines in the country blocking for him. They're both good so why are you comparing them?

[CSizzleTX]

@BLaZ3iNG I'm just messing around man. DJ looks like a great back. He may even be a little thicker than JG, what are his measureables?

[BLaZ3iNG]

@CSizzleTX Gray (5'11 195) is definitely bigger than Duke (5'9.5 190) and has a bigger frame imo. Hopefully Duke gets around 5'10 because I don't think he will be able to hold up at his height now.

[gadadamandown]

yo this football-ville my Cane brother love the video, show my site some love i see a few of my videos up in there ......

[gottacane]

freak my friend you always amaze me

[CUKIO34]

D[]_[]UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEEEEE­

[rome71rome]

go norland!!!! class of 91

[amishmime]

Can we just give 'em a Heisman right now. Seriously.

[jeremiegauthier]

@amishmime I wish I could tell you it was possible, however, the Heisman Memorial Trophy is awarded to the best player in the nation, based on a vote by selected journalists. The award is handed out according to the player's performance during a season and his estimated value to his team. Therefore, considering Duke Johnson has never played a single down of college football, it would be unthinkable to hand him the Heisman as of right now.

[jeremiegauthier]

@amishmime Thank you for your question and I hope this answer enlightened you in regard of your interrogations!

[amishmime]

Canefreak is almost as awesome as DUKE.

[jj1battle]

Canefreak2001, Can you allow Duke's video to be viewable on mobile? Thanks!

[GManataolcom]

lol just realized lamar is going to the draft this year! well Duke, u have an early chance to prove greatness!

[GManataolcom]

@frankyg113 haha right. give Duke a year to settle in at RB, maybe in '12 he can return kicks with Travis Benjamin gone.

[GManataolcom]

i see Lamar starting next year, then maybe going to the Draft, then as a soph i think Duke will start. thumbs up if u agree

[frankyg113]

@GManataolcom lamar is gone to draft.

[5Orlanda5]

Can't see it on mobile!!!!. Damn

[rickross22]

Is UCF's qb really coming to the []_[]?

[4thletta]

Lamar Who???

[RideTheHEADbhUT]

This kid runs like a boss!

[dmb1311]

Great job CF, awesome video. Duke is just insane.

[Schwartz19]

I know it's tough putting them all together, but come NSD you think you'll put together a video of the entire class? CanePhin and Spooner seemed to have dropped off in terms of number of videos. And great work putting together Duke's, beast

[coachhoop007]

1 person is a complete idiot to not like this kid

[N1ckJu5t0wN3DU]

i still miss you lamar miller. we need to go after a quarterback now because its been a few dreaded years for the canes

[dmb1311]

@N1ckJu5t0wN3DU We got two in the class already. Gray Crow and Preston Dewey.

[Canetillidie]

This dude is gonna save the U, kids are gonna want to play with him.

[Canefanforlife1]

lamar going pro was not bad it was good because this guy sees he can start his first year now. GO CANES!!

[MIAMI305LIVE]

[DaTorontoStar]

[a13rams]

[coachhoop007]

[alee2660]

[arniegarcia]

[]_[]fam

[Kooly1]

Duke had 6 TD's in the state title game. That's ridiculous. Go Canes!

[BigSicily954]

[Kooly1]

@BigSicily954 Whoops, you're correct. Still impressive.

[BigSicily954]

@Kooly1 Definitely! 

[MARBA817]

Duke will be a beast if he is used the right way and a good team unity around him.... 2012 go canes!!!!
