The quarterback transferred to Syracuse ahead of the 2024 season. Prior, he spent two seasons at Florida Atlantic. He hasn’t seen extended playing time with either the Owls or the Orange in his collegiate career.
Johnson Jr.’s decision to transfer comes after head coach Fran Brown made a decision on the team’s starting quarterback for 2025. Rickie Collins will be the guy for the Orange. He’s in his first season with the program after transferring from LSU.
Collins will have some big shoes to fill. Syracuse saw their offense explode in 2024 thanks to another transfer, Kyle McCord. Previously at Ohio State, McCord turned into one of the best statistical quarterbacks in college football last season.
