In a way, Johnson wears the badge of Lowest-rated Member of the 2021 Ohio State Recruiting Class with a sense of honor. He isn’t exactly worried where the so-called experts peg him in the rankings, which was obvious in his actions when he chose not to attend camps that often carry weight in the player rankings — and won’t determine anything once he starts his career with the Buckeyes anyway.

“Of course I do [pay attention], but I don’t really let it get me down,” he said. “I don’t really go to camp, so therefore, scouts don’t look at me. In my defense, I feel camps are for people who want to look good, and I’m not really into that. I let my actions on the field speak louder than anything else. I don’t know exactly how to be a top player in Ohio. I’m not as high of a recruit as I’m supposed to be.

“But honestly, it’s just a website. If you look at it, Aaron Donald was a three-star coming out of high school. Now, he’s one of the most paid men in the NFL, an all-time defensive player.”

Transferring to Memphis:



By transferring to Memphis, Johnson reunites with former Ohio State safeties coach Matt Barnes, who was his position coach at OSU in 2021 and is now entering his second year as the defensive coordinator at Memphis. He becomes the second Buckeye in two years to transfer to Memphis, joining former Ohio State defensive end Cormontae Hamilton, who recorded 46 tackles with six tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks in his first year at Memphis after playing only sparingly in three years as a Buckeye.
