Roschon Johnson made a list of future goals when he was in seventh grade. One of those goals was to be the quarterback at the University of Texas. That dream appeared realized when he signed with the Longhorns during the 2019 recruiting cycle. Johnson was a four-star quarterback from Port Neches-Groves, who broke school records with 7,710 passing yards.
His path took a detour a week before the first game of his college career back in 2019. A slew of injuries to Texas running backs prompted Johnson, always a team-first player, to sacrifice his redshirt season by converting to a new position. He became the ninth true freshman in school history to rush for more than 600 yards in a season.
