2025 Rush/Rec Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Johnson served as part of a three-man committee with the Cornhuskers in 2024, splitting touches with Dante Dowdell and Rahmir Johnson on his way to accounting for 598 yards and a single touchdown on 5.1 yards per carry. Johnson's role also expanded down the stretch, averaging 20.6 touches per game over the last four contests. With the other two running backs out of the picture, Johnson appears set to command the lion's share of opportunities in the backfield in what many are predicting could be a breakthrough season for Nebraska. With fresh faces such as receivers Dane Key and Nyziah Hunter out wide, along with another year of experience for quarterback Dylan Raiola, Johnson could be a beneficiary of an offense expected to take a step forward in 2025.
