Johnson was Nebraska's leading rusher before joining Chiefs as fifth-round pick.

Johnson was Nebraska's leading rusher in their 2025 season opener against Cincinnati at Arrowhead Stadium, where Nebraska defeated the Bearcats 20-17. He was subsequently drafted by the Chiefs in the fifth round this year, establishing him as a running back option in Kansas City's backfield.
