The story
Former defensive back at Texas A&M. Career stats, games and honors on CFB Zeitgeist.
Antonio Johnson

Low coverage — composed from the verified record.
How it ended
Three seasons at Texas A&M, 164 tackles, a first-team All-Conference season (2022) — drafted at #160 overall by Jacksonville.
His career
Nobody recruited him. He earned the honors anyway.
