Mickey Plyler on Johnson: "This is a high ceiling guy as well. Johnson is all about potential. The staff likes his upside because of his frame and his feet. There are opportunities at defensive tackle with the loss of three seniors, so Johnson will get a long look as an early enrollee this spring."
