The Port Neches-Groves (Texas) native and former four-star quarterback from the Class of 2019 is one of the leaders on the Texas Longhorns football team. Johnson has 2,079 career rushing yards on 372 carries with 24 total touchdowns (21 rushing, two receiving) during his time on the Forty Acres.

The fourth-year running back converted from quarterback his freshman year and has played in 35 career games with four starts. Johnson was named to the 2022 preseason watch list for the Doak Walker Award, named a fourth-team All-Big 12 Preseason selection by Athlon Sports in 2021, and a two-time Academic All-Big 12 First Team selection (2020-21).

Johnson was highly decorated out of high school. He was one of five finalists for the 2019 Watkins Award, presented each year to the nation’s top African American male high school scholar-athlete, in addition to an all-state and three-time all-district player.

Johnson finished as Port Neches-Groves’ all-time leading passer with 7,710 yards and second all-time leading rusher with 4,900 yards, notching 85 total touchdowns. He was selected to the 2019 Under Armour All-American Game. He was chosen MVP and unanimous first team in District 12-5A II in 2018.
