Texas Football: Former Florida LB Kylan Johnson perfect transfer prospect

The answer to the Texas football linebacker depth issue could be in waiting for a visit to the Forty Acres very soon. Head Texas football coach Tom Herman and defensive coordinator Todd Orlando were left scrambling for a solution following the season-ending injury diagnosis to the ultra-talented former four-star linebacker signee and California native De’Gabriel Floyd. That solution could be coming soon from the blue blood Florida Gators to visit in the form of graduate transfer linebacker Kylan Johnson.

Florida usually has a depth chart lined with defensive talent among mostly four and five-star recruits. That’s what ended up forcing out veteran linebacker Kylan Johnson in the first place as his name wound up in the NCAA Transfer Portal around the beginning of the off-season.
