Convention Center. \u201cPeople came up to me, asking me, kind of just assuming [I was going to transfer].<\/p>\n<p>I came here because of the longevity and stuff, and culture coach [Gary Patterson] and his staff had built. But after they left, by that time, I didn\u2019t just fall in love with the football program. I fell in love with the TCU community as a whole. And, plus, I built relationships with people on the team, a lot of my brothers that I came in with.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Johnston received overtures from other programs, promises of big paydays. There was a brief time that he considered entering the portal. But that was before sitting down with Sonny Dykes, TCU\u2019s new coach, and his position coach, Malcolm Kelly, was retained. They had a close relationship going back to his recruitment.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"711\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/tcujohnston.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"TCU's Quentin Johnston\" class=\"wp-image-25282708\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/tcujohnston.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/tcujohnston.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/tcujohnston.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/tcujohnston.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>TCU\u2019s Quentin Johnston<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">USA TODAY Sports<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>Dykes sat down with Johnston\u2019s parents, and broached the subject of NIL. They didn\u2019t want to hear about it. All that mattered was the plan Dykes and his staff had for their son, on and off the field.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think to me that\u2019s the great lesson in all of this,\u201d Dykes said. \u201cAnd I think everybody wants to be compensated for their abilities. And everybody wants to have an opportunity to increase their standing financially. But at the end of the day, I think the guys that make the big-picture decisions really are the ones that get rewarded.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Johnston\u2019s decision was the first domino to fall that set up this miraculous season for TCU, a year nobody could\u2019ve predicted. It\u2019s not just what Johnson has done on the field, and the junior from Temple, Texas, has performed exceptionally well, catching 59 passes for 1,066 yards and six touchdowns. When Dykes took the job, there were four players he was told he had to keep. Johnston was the lone player to stay.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was important not only for his talent, but I think it was also an endorsement from him,\u201d Dykes said. \u201cEverybody was looking for somebody to say, \u2018Look, I\u2019m jumping on the train.\u2019 And Quentin did that for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Looking back now, the 6-foot-4 Johnston can\u2019t help but think about what a wise choice he made. He significantly raised his NFL draft stock, to the point he may be the first receiver taken in April, and he will get to play in the national championship on Monday night, a key part of one of college football\u2019s great underdog stories. Odds are, that wouldn\u2019t have h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ened had he opted to transfer. From the outside, TCU may have looked like a bad situation, coming off a losing season with a new coach. But it wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust because the situation looks rocky, that doesn\u2019t mean it is,\u201d Johnston said. \u201cI was offered money and all types of stuff like that. But I feel there\u2019s more [to life] than just a paycheck.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
