Character

While Johnson’s athletic accomplishments make him one of the greatest goalkeepers in West Virginia history, his development as a man is what makes him stand out.

Those realizations have led to Johnson becoming a man that gives back to the game, takes the pressure of the moment upon himself and dedicates his time and efforts to the community.
