2009 -- Led Cal Poly in receptions (43), receiving yards (741), and receiving TDs (6)...Ranked 6th in the Great West in receptions per game (4.3), and 5th in receiving yards per game (74.1)...His performance versus South Dakota State earned him the Sports Network FCS National Player of the Week (13 catches for 273 yards and five TDs)...His five receiving TDs against South Dakota State set a Cal Poly single game school record...Earned Second Team All-Great West honors at WR.
2008 –- Appeared in 12 games with six starts as a sophomore at UCLA ... finished fourth on the team with 34 catches and third in receiving yards with 373 ... career-high seven catches for 61 yards against BYU ... five receptions for 47 yards against Cal, including a nine-yard catch for a touchdown.

Dickerson Award for outstanding offensive player in USC game.
2006 -- Medical redshirt at UCLA ... sprained an ankle in season opener against Utah and did not appear in another game.
Strengths: Johnson is a big bodied receiver who has enjoyed success at the FBS (at UCLA) and FCS (at Cal Poly) levels. He is a strong route runner who can create separation with his sharp routes despite his less than ideal speed and quickness. Has deceptive speed that makes him dangerous as a deep threat because of his leaping ability. Has great timing and leaping ability. Can go up for the rebound and come down with the catch consistently. Great hands. Great body control and flexibility to adjust to balls thrown every which way. Johnson has the ability to catch balls high, low or on either side of his body. Great target in the red zone because of his size, leaping ability, and hands. Has the awareness to make catches on the sidelines.
Weaknesses: Lacks deep speed and quick feet to do a lot damage after the catch. Needs to work back to the QB on routes more consistently. Has an injury history (missed part of 2009 season and 2010 Spring Practice with shoulder problems--also missed virtually all of 2006 season with UCLA with ankle injury).
Projection: 7th rounder or UDFA who'll need to prove his shoulder is OK during physical exams."
