In 12 appearances in 2023, Johnson totaled 36 tackles with three for a loss and seven passes defended. He also has four career interceptions, three of which came in 2021. He had two in a win over Hawaii that season. Johnson missed nearly all of 2022 due to injury.
Originally from Houston, Texas, Johnson was a three-star recruit in the class of 2020. He's listed at 6'1" and 180 pounds. Given the NCAA's ruling regarding eligibility and the 2020 season, he should have one year of eligibility remaining.
