Former Clemson player pleads guilty, given probation

Former Clemson safety Jadar Johnson has been given another opportunity to succeed by an Upstate South Carolina judge.

Johnson, who started on the Tigers’ 2016 national championship team, pleaded guilty last week to a charge of common law robbery and was sentenced under the state’s Youthful Offender Act.

Johnson, along with the late C.J. Fuller and former Duke player Quaven Maurice Ferguson were originally charged with Armed Robbery and Possession of a Weapon during the Commission of a Crime on March 28 of last year. The three men allegedly took an undisclosed amount of cash and the victim’s cell phone.
