Now that the season has come to a dramatic end for the Ohio State football team, you can expect the transfer and NFL declaration news to heat up. One of those dominoes fell Tuesday when defensive back JK Johnson entered the transfer portal according to several reports.
Out of DeSmet High School in Saint Louis, Missouri, Johnson was the No. 3 cornerback and 50th overall recruit in the 2021 class according to the 247Sports composite. He played in one game during his freshman year before dealing with a shoulder injury, but logged a substantial time in 2022, especially with injuries in the defensive backfield. Johnson started five games but didn’t see any time in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl. Instead, he watched Cam Brown and Denzel Burke get plenty of playing time against Georgia.
