Ole Miss Football Hosting North Carolina Tar Heels Commit for Arkansas Matchup

The Mississippi native logged almost 1,300 scrimmage yards as a sophomore, totaling more than 1,700 all-purpose yards.

He caught 43 passes for 807 yards and 11 touchdowns on 18.8 yards per reception while handing business as a wideot, but he also shined as a running back. Johnson ran for 465 yards and 10 touchdowns on 8.5 yards per carry.

On the other side of the ball, Johnson logged 52 tackles, 4 interceptions (2 return touchdowns), and 8 pass breakups.

The coveted athlete remains a prized recruit where he looks to get back on the map in 2025 after missing most of his junior season.

Now, he's set to be in Oxford this weekend on an unofficial visit with the Ole Miss Rebels in their matchup against Arkansas.

The 247 Sports Evaluation: "Three-phase playmaker with extensive reps at receiver, running back, cornerback, safety, and kick/punt returner. Legitimate FBS prospect at receiver and possibly multiple defensive back spots.

"Pushing 6-1, 180 pounds with plus length. Athletic profile includes basketball, plus track and field in eighth and ninth grades. Missed all but one game of junior season (Fall 2024). Prior to that campaign, tape study revealed a wiry strong athlete with encouraging run-after-catch ability. Perhaps more instinctive on defense, whether playing off corner or at safety.

"Willing to mix it up as a tackler and doesn't shy away from contact on either side of the ball. Likely provides special teams value in multiple capacities. Functional athleticism in pads usually exceeds what combine testing and older track and field data suggest.

"Higher floor may lie at receiver, while higher ceiling may be in the secondary. Projects as a P4-caliber prospect who could develop into a quality starter on either side of the ball."
