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.
Johnson brings three years of eligibility to Memphis.
