Not too long ago, Brandon Johnson led the Tennessee Volunteers in receiving. The year was 2017, yes that dreadful 2017 season, and Johnson led the team with a pedestrian 482 yards.
As Jeremy Pruitt’s staff moved in, Johnson basically moved out of the wide receiver picture. Marquez Callaway, Jauan Jennings and Josh Palmer took over, leaving Johnson to catch just 14 passes for 132 yards in 2018. His senior season began and it was immediately evident that it was going to be more of the same, which is why Jeremy Pruitt approached him with an option to redshirt.
