Jermaine Johnson earns first team All-American honors

Florida State defensive end Jermaine Johnson II was named a Walter Camp first-team All-American Thursday, the first of what’s likely to be several honors for the lineman.

Johnson, a redshirt senior, started in all 12 games this season totaling a staggering 12 sacks (tied for 6th best in the country), 18 tackles for loss, two forced fumbles, a strip-sack returned for a touchdown, and 70 tackles total.

The former Georgia Bulldogs transfer was a menace off the edge and a key pillar on the front end of the defense earning ACC Defensive player of the year, FSU defensive MVP, and being named first-team All-ACC earlier this month.
