Looks to build on an impressive true freshman campaign ... will likely need to pick up some of the slack left by the graduation of ASU’s other big receiver from a season ago, William Mayfield ... is a true possession receiver with size and terrific route-running and catching ability.

2006: Broke into ASU’s receiver rotation as a true freshman, playing in all 15 games and starting four of the final five games of the season ... ranked fifth on the team in receptions (17) and receiving yards (135) ... caught at least one pass in 9-of-15 games ... had a breakout performance at Gardner-Webb, catching three balls for a season-best 35 yards and his first-career touchdown (10 yds. from Armanti Edwards) ... reeled in a season-high four receptions in a driving rainstorm at Western Carolina ... was shutout in the national quarterfinal and semifinal victories and appeared to be en route to the same fate in the national championship game following a couple critical drops in the first quarter ... however, Johnson pulled down an Edwards pass in traffic for 15 yards on third-and-10, giving the Apps a critical first down in the waning minutes of the title contest versus UMass ... four plays later, ASU sealed its second-straight national championship with a touchdown that closed out the scoring at 28-17.


High School: Two-time all-state honoree at nearby Avery County High School … ranks second in North Carolina high school history with 210 career receptions … set Western North Carolina records for receptions and 3,185 receiving yards … hauled in 36 touchdown receptions as a prep … led Avery County to third round of state playoffs with 101 catches for 1,408 yards and 17 touchdowns as a senior … 2005 Shrine Bowl participant … coached by Darrell Brewer … also a standout on the basketball court, leading Avery County to a conference title and earning all-Western N.C. honors and a McDonald’s All-America nomination as a senior … named the 2005-06 Western North Carolina Male Athlete of the Year by the Asheville Athletic Club.
