Miami Hurricanes Football: DE DJ Johnson to leave program

On Tuesday afternoon, the University of Miami announced that freshman DE D.J. Johnson would be transferring from the program.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The University of Miami announced Tuesday that defensive lineman DJ Johnson has decided to leave the football program.

“DJ indicated to me that he would like to continue his playing career closer to his family,” head coach Mark Richt said.

Johnson, a freshman from Sacramento, Calif., played in eight games for the Hurricanes this past season, recording three tackles.

There has been other attrition from the roster in recent days, but this one hurts.
