Utah junior cornerback Jaylon Johnson announced his long-expected decision to enter the 2020 NFL draft, without addressing whether he intends to play in the Alamo Bowl vs. Texas.
In a message to Ute fans posted Friday evening, Johnson wrote, “These past three years have been some of the best of my life. This place I call home gave me more than I could have ever imagined, and I am eternally grateful.”
The first media availability for Utah players since last week’s loss to Oregon in the Pac-12 championship game is scheduled after Saturday morning’s practice. Senior safety Julian Blackmon, another all-conference pick, has been ruled out of the Alamo Bowl with a knee injury.
