The defensive lineman played in all 13 games and made seven starts for Oklahoma. Against Baylor, Johnson had one of his best performances of the season, totaling a season-high four tackles and 0.5 tackles for loss.

At Tulane, Johnson started all 12 games in 2021, amassing 44 tackles and four tackles for loss. He recorded eight total sacks across his career for the Green Wave.
