Johnson has begun to attract attention from college recruiters.
"I get mail from Indiana, Purdue, Michigan State, and Cincinnati," Johnson said. "I'm interested in all of them."
However one school stands out.
"Michigan State is my favorite," Johnson said. "Everybody in my family went to school there."
Johnson will show his stuff at some upcoming camps and combines.
"I was invited to Illinois in May for a combine," he said. "And I'll go to the NIKE Camp in Ann Arbor."
