At Clemson, Sterling Johnson played sparingly even though he was a big-time recruit. Johnson was ranked the No. 14 defensive end in the nation and the No. 4 player in the state of North Carolina, according to ESPN’s rankings.

Johnson recorded just 14 tackles, three tackles for loss and two sacks in 11 games with the Tigers. After graduating in three years and earning a degree in sports communication, he elected to transfer to Coastal Carolina, where he had two years of eligibility left.
