“We’re now at about 11 days since that previous game so that’s where we’re at now. But we knew it would be something that was coming and going.”

Johnson spoke about why he transferred to TCU, and what he gained from the experience.

“So my biggest thing moving was to learn. I knew Coach P was a great defensive mind. I wanted to move somewhere I could learn. My football IQ was not as good, but now I can say I really got a better understanding of football. That was the purpose of this – to get exposure and to learn the game even more.”
