LU Head Coach Will Davis on Johnson:
"Dylan is someone who flew under the radar from living in a small town but is not under the radar anymore as he leads all Texas high school pitchers in strikeouts. He is a left hander who sits in the upper 80s, pounds the strike zone, and has a really good breaking ball.There is no doubt that he will be able to come right in and help us."
