Early life and high school career

Johnston grew up in Temple, Texas, and attended Temple High School.[1] He was rated a four-star recruit and initially committed to play college football at Texas.[2] Johnston later flipped his commitment to TCU, citing the dismissal of Texas wide receivers coach Drew Mehringer as the reason.[3][4]

College career

Johnston became a starter at TCU as a true freshman, catching 22 passes for a team-high 487 yards and two touchdowns.[5] His 22.1 average yards per catch was the highest by a true freshman in the history of the Big 12 Conference.[6] Johnston was named first team All-Big 12 as a sophomore after catching 33 passes and leading TCU with 612 receiving yards and six touchdown receptions.[7] On January 16, 2023, Johnston announced that he would forgo his senior season and enter the 2023 NFL Draft.[8][9]
