Johnson had a small part in the Tar Heels' first games under Belichick, with just five snaps, two targets and a six-yard reception for the wide receiver. It is unknown why Johnson left North Carolina so early, but his 2025 season has already come to an end nonetheless.

Scores in loss Johnson reeled in 3 of 4 targets for 70 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 38-16 loss against Illinois.
Impact Johnson provided the highlight of the day for the Spartan offense, connecting with quarterback Aidan Chiles on a 52-yard touchdown grab on a broken coverage in the first quarter. The redshirt freshman receiver has struggled to find consistency throughout the season, as he has caught just 15 passes through 10 games, accounting for 263 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Despite the low volume, Johnson has shown flashes of his big-play ability throughout the year, with his next chance to earn more opportunities coming against Purdue this coming Saturday.
