Only Jan Johnson Until Penn State Football

Jan Johnson took a redshirt in 2015 during his freshman season. Don’t take that to mean that he didn’t get much action, as the 6’2, 231 pound linebacker took part in 8 dual meets as a member of Cael Sanderson’s National Championship wrestling team, competing as a heavyweight that season.

In September of 2016, Johnson made his first appearance for the football team, on the road during a blowout loss at the hands of Michigan. The linebacker corp was decimated by injury before Brandon Smith was given a penalty for targeting and ejected from the game.
