Johnson had other offers from Iowa, Iowa State, Wisconsin and North Dakota State. He was rated as a three-star recruit by Rivals, and he is listed at 6’2″ and 179 pounds. He is playing quarterback right now, but he seems likely to move to another position at Minnesota and wide receiver, safety and cornerback have been offered as potential options.
