Per KohlsKicking.com, Johnson is the No. 2 punter in the 2020 recruiting class. Whether he’ll be a preferred walk-on or a scholarship player is unknown at this time.
The Crimson Tide have 26 players in their 2020 class at the moment. That class ranks No. 2 in the nation and No. 2 in the SEC, per 247Sports.
