Former Bowling Green State University quarterback Matt Johnson has announced the end of his playing career and will accept the position of Offensive Quality Control Coach at Syracuse University for the 2017 season.
Johnson, who is originally from Harrisburg, Pa., is arguably the most successful quarterback in Falcons’ history.
He joined the BGSU program in 2011 and redshirted in his first year on campus. As a redshirt freshman, he served as backup to Matt Schilz and played in eight games.
He took over as starter midway through the first half of the 2013 season opener against Tulsa and led BGSU to a 34-7 victory.
