  COMMITMENT PROFILE Despite Johnson's presence at a high-profile program — Prattville, on the legs of Washington and Da- vis, was the Class 7A (largest in Ala- bama) state runner-up, falling to pe- rennial power Hoover High — and his 82 tackles as a junior, he wasn't receiving much scholarship atten- tion. By the time Michigan offered, his other options included just mid- major programs such as in-state Troy, Alabama State and South Alabama.
