A native of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Johnson spent the fall of 2012 as a student assistant with the men’s basketball program at his alma mater, Samford University. Johnson's duties as a student assistant included breaking down opponent’s film, assisting with film exchange, and also serving as a student manager during practice.

Johnson was a four-year member of the men’s basketball program at Samford, playing under Brevard head coach Lee Burgess. During his career, he appeared in over 80 games for the Bulldogs.
