Johnson layed two seasons with the Volunteers, redshirting his sophomore season and playing a reserve role. He saw more action this past season after several injuries to the offensive line. He saw his most action against the Oklahoma Sooners.  

He joined the Tennessee Volunteers as a junior college transfer from Hutchinson College. Johnson starred at Jenkins High School in Savannah, Georgia, leading the Warriors to the playoffs in four consecutive seasons. 

The Tennessee offensive line has undergone major changes this season, with four of its five starters having to be replaced from last year. The lone returning starter is Lance Heard.
