Quacking the Roster: WR Transfers Tez Johnson and Traeshon Holden

Troy Trojans wide receiver Tez Johnson (15) carries the ball after a reception in the game between the Troy Trojans and the Middle Tennessee Blue RaidersJohnson was recruited to Troy in the 2020 class as a low 3-star (.8361) in the 24/7 composite. He played in nearly every game as a true freshman, though only getting one or two catches each outing (that season didn’t count against his eligibility due to the NCAA’s Covid holiday) and has three to play two remaining. Over the last two seasons, Johnson has been Troy’s leading receiver in both catches and yards by wide margins, with a combined 123 receptions for nearly 1,600 yards in 2021 and 2022. The transfer to Oregon reunites Johnson with his adoptive brother #13 QB Nix, with whom he played at Pinson HS in Alabama, coached by their father.
