Dennis Johnson Honored by SEC

Arkansas running back Dennis Johnson was named the SEC’s co-special teams play of the week this morning.

Johnson picked up the honor after returning the opening kickoff 91 yards for a touchdown in the Razorbacks’ 48-10 win against Missouri State on Saturday. It was the second kickoff return touchdown of his career. He had the game-winning return in Arkansas’ 30-23 win against Tulsa last season. Johnson shares the honor with Florida’s Brandon James, who had an 85-yard return Saturday.

Johnson was on the only Razorback to earn a weekly honor from the league. Quarterback Ryan Mallett, who threw for 309 yards in his Arkansas debut, was included among players who had other “outstanding performances” during the opening weekend of play.

Here’s a list of the SEC’s honorees:
