Aggressive, speedy and explosive. Johnson earned the Bronko Nagurski Trophy as the nation’s top defensive player and the Butkus Award for the nation’s top linebacker. The two-time consensus All-American was also the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year in 2004.  He could cover anyone, was a sure tackler and found a way to consistently force fumbles. Need I say more? Texas is desperately missing this type of energy on the defensive side of the ball — especially at that position.
