The JUCO transfer from Atlanta has already posted bond. The 6-foot-4, 295-pound Johnson transferred to Tennessee this offseason after two seasons at Fort Scott (Kan.) Community College. Johnson was a four-star prospect and the consensus top defensive tackle in the nation from the junior-college ranks.
And just a reminder:
At the risk of sounding like THAT guy, I’ll remind everyone that a charge is not a guilty verdict. We’ll see what happens.
