Additionally, authorities are asking not to approach Johnson if he’s seen, but to instead call them so they could get to the scene.

Coming out of high school as a member of the Class of 2008 from Portland, Oregon, Johnson was one of the most sought-after prospects in the nation. Before committing to Notre Dame, Johnson was ranked as the No. 1 recruit in all of Oregon, and the No. 5 defensive lineman and No. 43 overall prospect nationwide, per the On3 Consensus.

During four seasons with the Fighting Irish, Johnson amassed 89 total tackles and 12.5 sacks.

Moreover, the Notre Dame community is helping to do their part in finding Johnson, as the Holtz’s Heroes Foundation shared a Tweet regarding the situation on Tuesday.

“Please share and say a prayer,” tweeted the foundation. “Ethan, you are not alone. Please contact us and we can assist you.”

After his playing career came to an end at Notre Dame, Johnson spent a summer with the Kansas City Chiefs following being unselected during the NFL Draft. Unfortunately, he never caught on, and his time in the NFL was short-lived.

Hopefully the Notre Dame community and the college football world will receive the positive news regarding Ethan Johnson in the coming days. Until then, the thoughts and prayers of the football world are with him, his family and his friends.
