Another player with no eligibility left, Jahmir Johnson joined that wave of Tennessee football transfers between Jeremy Pruitt’s firing and Josh Heupel’s hire. A junior college transfer in Pruitt’s first class, Johnson spent three years on Rocky Top as a hybrid blocker, filling in when there were injuries and lack of productivity.
However, he transferred to the Texas A&M Aggies looking to finish his eligibility off with a bang, and it’s safe to say that’s exactly what he did. Johnson started almost the entire season, and he locked up the left tackle spot, the most important spot on the line.
Honestly, that made it a smart move for him to transfer, as Darnell Wright and Cade Mays would have made it hard for him to start at tackle for the Vols. It also worked out for UT, though, as Heupel needed a line that he could mostly develop for the future with the exception of Mays.
Anyway, with Johnson’s departure, it’s no secret that A&M and Jimbo Fisher are trying to figure out what to do at left tackle this upcoming year. After time at four schools over six years, starting with the Rhode Island Rams in 2016 before going to junior college, it’s safe to say Johnson ended his college career in impressive fashion.
