Johnson played college football at Texas from 2016 to 2019. He stood out for his size and reliable hands as a wide receiver. Now, he is making a different kind of move, this time off the field.
His shift from football to higher education follows a growing trend. More athletes are preparing early for life after sports. Johnson's completion of the Harvard Business School Executive Program is a major personal milestone. It could also open doors in business, media, or leadership roles.
