Top 25 Kentucky football players this century: Number 16
The countdown of the top 25 Kentucky football players of this century continues on. Number 17 was former Wildcats safety Mike Edwards, who went on to become a Super Bowl champion. Up next, at number 16 is former Kentucky linebacker Micah Johnson. Johnson was one of the nation's top linebacker recruits out of high school, and chose the Wildcats over some major programs. He broke into the rotation immediately, playing in all 13 games as a Freshman, gaining All-Freshman honors, then seeing an increase in playing time as a Sophomore, showing just what he could do. In his third season in Lexington, he broke out in a big way. He totaled 93 tackles, including 13 for a loss. He also had 2.5 sacks and forced a fumble earning a first-team All-SEC nod. As a Senior, Johnson was terrific once again, and was a second-team All-SEC player. He recorded 105 tackles with one sack and seven tackles for a loss. Johnson was an integral piece to Kentucky's defense during his time there. He was a two-time All-SEC performer who, though he didn't find NFL success, was one of the great Wildcats linebackers.
