TCU wide receiver Quentin Johnston shuns spotlight in favor of team success

FORT WORTH – Quentin Johnston is about action, not words. That made the recruiting journey from Temple High School to TCU a difficult road to navigate for the four-star receiver. Being recruited takes a lot of social energy. Coaches call and text. Recruits go on visits. Reporters are always in your direct messages on social media hoping to get a quote or information. Johnston wasn’t a fan. He’d look at his phone back in those days and see 200 missed calls or texts. 

“The attention was new to me, and I was never someone who enjoyed extra attention, so it took some getting used to,” Johnston said.  It was never anything personal, I just didn’t know what to say or how to act. I didn’t want to mess anything up.”
