Theo Johnson with the flex-
Tight end
Theo Johnson previously announced his plan to turn pro after the bowl game. However, Johnson will play in the Peach Bowl. While the decision was made public this month the team captain said he informed Franklin before the season even started that regardless of how things were looking for him individually he’d be participating in the bowl game.
“I wanted to make sure I was a man of my word and it was kind of a no-brainer for me,” Johnson said. “We just kind of have a culture at Penn State of guys finishing out the season. Obviously, different guys make different decisions, but I think more times than not guys decide they’re gonna stay.
“Around the building, it’s kind of a known thing that captains really don’t leave,” Johnson said.
