Johnson, the Florida Dairy Farmers Mr. Football in 2014, graduated early from First Coast High School in Jacksonville and enrolled at FSU in January. He was not expected to be a serious contender for the Seminoles’ starting job this fall.
Florida State faced criticism in recent years after quarterback Jameis Winston was investigated for an alleged 2012 sexual assault but never charged. The eventual 2014 Heisman Trophy winner and number-one draft pick (Tampa Bay) still faces a civil suit in the matter. In April 2014, Winston was issued a citation for shoplifting crab legs and was suspended from the FSU baseball team until he had completed 20 hours of community service.
