“I know I’m the motivation; they see me, they see a hero,” he wrote while sharing a series of pictures on his Instagram account. His fans are going gaga over the pictures he shared online. The pictures are directly from the last game they played against their Big 12 rivals on Saturday.

Although some of you might think he’s bragging, what can you expect from a QB who came out of a game in which he threw for 253 yards and 2 touchdowns? After the game, one of his mates, Dylan Edward, also praised his “killer mentality,” emphasizing Johnson’s consistent efforts.

Avery Johnson credited his success to head coach

But Johnson, being a people guy, never forgets to respect the people who are behind his success. While crediting head coach Chris Klieman, Johnson said, “he’s the definition of a leader; he does things the right way. He builds great relationships with players and coaches all throughout the facility. And he’s a great role model for the type of man that one of our players would want to be.”

Kansas State is currently the hot favorite in the college football world and Avery Johnson performs like he’s the top QB in the Big 12. His expertise to lead Conor Riley’s offense was evident in the second half of the game vs. Kansas City. Although the Wildcats could not manage to score in the first half, Johnson made waves in the second half with jaw-dropping touchdowns.

After leading his team to a 16-game winning streak and playing extraordinary in their last game, Avery Johnson has raised many eyebrows. The officials have noticed him and named him one of the 35 quarterbacks in the country for the Davey O’Brien QB class of 2024. If he continues to improve his performance, it will not be a surprise if he wins the title. Apart from that, do you think Avery Johnson will win the title?
