Johnson’s four charges include felony possession of a controlled substance, possession of cannabis less than 20 grams, resisting arrest without violence and possession of a firearm during commission of a felony.

Florida did release the following statement regarding Johnson’s arrest.

"We are aware of the situation of Dijon Johnson. We will continue to gather facts and cooperate with and monitor the legal and administrative processes."

Johnson played in all 13 games last season as a sophomore, which included five starts. He totaled 27 tackles, two tackles for loss and two pass deflections. He did undergo a surgery to repair a torn labrum during the offseason, but was set to be 100% by summer camp.
