Anthony Johnson only played two seasons of wide receiver at the Division I FBS level. In those two seasons, he earned himself two First Team All-MAC selections and also an NFL contract.
Johnson, a Rock Hill, SC native, began his career at Butler Community College, moved to Iowa Western Community College, and finally settled in at Buffalo in 2016. He redshirted that season before enjoying arguably the best offensive season in program history. As a junior, Johnson tallied 76 receptions (18th in FBS), 1,356 receiving yards (6th) and 14 touchdowns (3rd) in just 12 games.
Many speculated the receiver would bolt to the 2018 NFL Draft after one highly successful season in college, but Johnson returned to Buffalo’s campus for his senior season.
