Johnson and cornerback Michael Williams were suspended from all team-related activities on Nov. 17. The two players were named in a sexual assault investigation, but neither player has been charged at this time. Despite missing the team’s last two games, Johnson finished with a team-best 101 tackles, finishing sixth in the SEC.
Johnson started in all four seasons at Tennessee. He ended his career with 425 total tackles (218 solo, 207 assisted), 21.5 tackles for loss and three sacks.
