He finished the year with 11 receptions for 206 yards (188 m) (three for touchdowns), leading all Southeastern Conference (SEC) freshmen tight ends in both receptions and receiving yards, and tying for the most touchdowns, which led him to be named to the All-SEC Freshman Team.

[6] He had the third most receiving yards for Mississippi State that year, and was tied for second on the team with 19 receptions for first downs.

[1] As a fifth-year senior in the 2014 season, Johnson was named team co-captain,[8] and played in all 13 games (starting in 12 of them).

[1] Defeating Auburn, then the second-ranked team in the nation, propelled Mississippi State to number one in the Associated Press coaches football poll.

[14] He played in 12 regular season games as a fullback that fall, starting five, and had no rushing attempts but caught four passes for 15 yards.
