Northern Illinois’ sizable loss has turned into TCU’s significant gain.
Late last month, NIU head coach Rod Carey confirmed that Jawuan Johnson had decided to transfer out of his football program. Less than two weeks later, Johnson announced on Twitter that he has decided to transfer to TCU.
As Johnson is set to graduate from NIU in May, he will be eligible to play for the Horned Frogs in 2018. The upcoming season will serve as the linebacker’s last year of eligibility.
This past season, Johnson started all 13 games for the Huskies. He led the team with five interceptions and eight passes defensed. His 98 tackles were second on the team, as were his 18 tackles for loss. He totaled four sacks, which were third on the squad.
