Following a 2-10 season in Clark Lea’s first year, and in the brave new world of the NCAA transfer portal, we expected some attrition from the Vanderbilt football program this offseason. This wasn’t really what we wanted, though.
That’s Cam Johnson, the team’s leading wide receiver in 2020 when he caught 56 passes for 545 yards and three touchdowns, announcing that his Vanderbilt career is done with one year of eligibility remaining. Johnson was one of the team’s top recruits in the 2018 class and redshirted that season due to injury before emerging in 2019 and then breaking out in 2020.
