Johnson is a 6-4, 227, redshirt Freshman defensive end from Tempe HS, Phoenix, AZ. He had 89 tackles as a HS Senior in 10 games including 19 for a loss, 21.5 sacks, 3 forced fumbles, and a blocked field goal. Here's Johnson's coach, Brian Walker, talking with AZ Central:
I'm anxious to see how much weight Johnson has added since his bio still lists his weight when arrived at Arizona. I think our increased size in the middle is going to increase opportunities for edge rushers like Johnson. He should get a chance this year to prove he deserves a spot in the D-line rotation."My-King Johnson is a fine young man who is committed in the classroom and is driven to do well and be successful. Some college is going to get a great football player. Right now, he's working hard in the weight room and making sure that wherever he ends up, that school will get a quality football player."
Here's an on field interview after his final high school game:
59 is the number of TDs Arizona allowed last year. Only Oregon State allowed more TDs in the conference. We have to get better on defense!
