Week 10 Stats: 4 total tackles (3 solo), 1 INT, 40 INT return yards for TD
Johnson came away with a clutch defensive play to lead LIU past Central Connecticut, 28-20, on Saturday. The redshirt-freshman intercepted a first-down pass after the Blue Devils recovered an onside kick with 62 seconds left and returned it 40 yards to seal the Sharks’ second straight victory. It was the Danbury, CT native’s first career interception. In addition, Johnson added four tackles to push his season total to 12, nine of which have during LIU’s current win streak. This is his first Rookie of the Week award from the NEC.
