After transferring to Temple last offseason, Johnson started every game for the Owls, and started every game. He had 47 tackles, and led the team with 2 interceptions and 9 pass breakups. His PFF grade of 77.3 was the 2nd highest grade on Temple’s defense. Opposing Quarterbacks only completed 37% of the passes thrown his way this year.

Since entering the Portal, Johnson has picked up offers from Houston, Jax State, New Mexico St., Southern Miss, UCONN, UTEP, Arkansas St., UMASS, UNLV and NC State.

Johnson isn’t the only Temple transfer visiting NC State this weekend. EDGE Tra Thomas is also visiting.
