STILLWATER — When Leon Johnson III entered the transfer portal after last season, he said there wasn’t initially much fanfare.
Johnson was a Division-III All-American who caught 55 passes for 1,156 yards and 14 touchdowns in just 10 games at George Fox. But still, Johnson said the initial interest in him out of the portal came from other Division-III schools and some Division-II schools.
Until Oklahoma State found him.
Johnson announced an OSU offer Jan. 8. Almost immediately after, he had offers to Arizona and San Diego State, but the Washington native grew a sense of loyalty to the first Division-I program to show interest in him.
