Bio

2018: Johnson exploded onto the seen before injuries sidetracked the latter portion of his freshman campaign.  Johnson finished his first go around at Mossy Creek with 336 yards rushing and four scores. He had a long run of 68 yards against Catawba and found the end zone four times.  His top effort came in front of a national audience on ESPN 3 against Wingate in the Eagles' home opener. Johnson tallied 121 yards on six carries with two scores in the fourth quarter alone.  He finished the day with 148 yards on nine carries. That tally is the highest rushing total by a freshman since Tyron Douglas ran for 183 yards against Newberry in 2010.

HIGH SCHOOL: Johnson makes his way to Mossy Creek after playing for Buddy Holder at Effingham County High School.  He rushed for  2,165 yards for the Rebels and scored 28 touchdowns.  Johnson was named the MVP in the Blitz Border Bowl Game and won WJCL’s Big 22 Award.  He earned first team all-region honors two straight years. A two sport athlete, Johnson also runs track in high school.  He is Effingham County’s record-holder for the 100 and 200 meters. 

PERSONAL: The son of Niema Johnson.  He is undecided on a major at Carson-Newman.
