The last time star Michigan football cornerback Will Johnson wore the home jersey was in Week 4 against USC and the final time that he wore a winged helmet was in Week 8 at Illinois.
The offseason talk was that Johnson had never had a fully healthy season so his junior campaign had a lot of promise. However, he found himself more injured in year three than any other, having only appeared in six out of Michigan’s 12 games.
Though Sherrone Moore was asked about his bowl game status on Tuesday, it looks like even if the legacy corner is healthy, he won’t be playing in the ReliaQuest Bowl as he announced on Wednesday via Instagram that he is forgoing his final year and declaring for the 2025 NFL draft.

Johnson is expected to be the top cornerback picked in the draft but his injury concerns could have him fall behind Travis Hunter. Either way, the former five-star will be a day one pick and certainly left Ann Arbor better than he found it.
