We went in-depth with Michigan corner Will Johnson as he embarks upon his first season donning the winged helmet. The former five-star standout reflects upon his rise as a prospect, his one-time affinity for Ohio State, and how it feels to now officially be following in his father’s Maize & Blue footsteps. Focus then shifts to his transition as an early enrollee and the early challenges he has overcome. He also highlights his unique relationship with position coach Steve Clinkscale. Johnson also opens up about the players who stood out to him during spring ball and summer workouts, his decision to wear Charles Woodson’s no. 2, his experience with NIL, and much much more.
