A.J. Johnson is embracing his senior season at Tennessee with the same fervor that led him to become one of the nation’s most talented middle linebackers in his first three seasons. Johnson still flies to the football just as fast as he did during his illustrious career at Gainesville High. He has always been passionate about playing the game of football, a characteristic that helped him earn First-Team All-SEC honors last season, and he shows it with an energetic flow on the field.
