Won't pursue medical redshirt
Updating a previous report, Wyoming coach Craig Bohl confirmed Wednesday that Johnson won't be able to secure a medical redshirt after the receiver failed to recover from his knee injury as hoped, Cody Tucker of 7220Sports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
An incoming redshirt senior, Johnson missed the entire 2018 season with a severe knee injury but was back on the field for spring ball. However, Johnson never fully healed from the injury and wasn't responding to rest and rehab as well as the Cowboys were counting on heading into August camp, prompting the team to rule him out for the 2019 campaign. After back-to-back missed seasons, Johnson has elected to call an early end to his career, during which he notched 51 receptions for 835 yards and 10 touchdowns. Bohl said that Johnson would remain enrolled at Wyoming to finish up his degree.

2017 Fantasy Outlook
There's an awful lot of NFL hype for Wyoming quarterback Josh Allen, but not many people are talking about how his star running back (Brian Hill) and top three pass catchers (Tanner Gentry, Jake Maulhardt, and Jacob Hollister) left for the NFL this offseason. Johnson is no lock for production, but he's the top returning pass catcher for Wyoming, and he was quietly promising as a redshirt freshman last year. He totaled 21 receptions for 304 yards and three touchdowns on just 26 targets last year, and he's a candidate to surpass 100 targets this season.
