Johnson previously opted out of the 2020 season prior to entering the transfer portal due to reasons concerning the COVID-19 pandemic. 

In his junior season, Johnson started all 12 games at center and allowed just one sack in 377 pass blocks. He played in a total of 16 games during his time with the Rebels. 

The Taylor, Mississippi native was named to the Athletic’s Director Spring Honor Roll in 2019 and the SEC Fall Academic Honor Roll.
