The 6-foot-1, 240-pound fullback began his career as a walk-on center before moving to fullback in the fall of his true freshman season in 2019. He quickly made his presence felt at fullback and on special teams. According to PFF, he was graded Rice’s top special teams performer in 2021. Over the course of his career, he played in 26 games and made a name for himself for his blocking and tenacity on the field.
Johnson is a familiar face around the Aggie program. He joins his father Jerry Johnson II, who is an assistant strength and conditioning coach at Texas A&M, and his younger brother Chantz Johnson, who signed with Texas A&M out of College Station High School in the 2023 class.
He also joins former Rice teammates and preferred walk-on transfers Aidan Siano and Derek Ferraro in the Texas A&M program, and he is A&M’s third scholarship addition via the portal, joining cornerbacks Sam McCall (Florida State) and Tony Grimes (North Carolina).
