The Longhorn Legend will be inducted into the National Football Foundation’s College Football Hall of Fame in December.
One of the greatest defensive players in Texas Football history and a member of an elite group of Longhorns to earn consensus first-team All-American honors multiple times, Derrick Johnson (2001-04) was selected to be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as part of the class of 2023, the National Football Foundation announced Monday. The Nagurski and Butkus Award winner and NFL first-round draft pick will be the 25th Longhorn inducted into the Hall of Fame.
"I'm truly overwhelmed, humbled and so grateful to be selected for the College Football Hall of Fame," Johnson said.
