Paces paltry rushing attack Johnson logged nine carries for 17 yards and did not haul in his lone target during Saturday's 21-0 victory against Kentucky in the Music City Bowl.
Impact Johnson led the Hawkeyes' inefficient rushing game in carries during the Music City Bowl, as the team accumulated 67 yards across 24 attempts on the ground. The team's rushing game was stop and start all season, so it's no surprise this unit struggled against the Wildcats' stout defensive front. Johnson finished his 2022 true freshman season as Iowa's No. 1 running back with 151 carries for 779 yards and six touchdowns. He figures to jockey with sophomore Leshon Williams for carries heading into 2023 after fellow backup running back Gavin Williams entered the transfer portal in early December.

Double-digit carries in Week 5 Johnson recorded 12 carries for 32 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 27-14 loss to Michigan.
Impact Johnson once led the Hawkeyes in rushing attempts for the second straight week ahead of sophomore backs Leshon Williams (eight carries, 34 yards) and Gavin Williams, who did not record a rushing attempt Saturday. The freshman also accounted for Iowa's first touchdown of the game with a two-yard rushing score early in the fourth quarter. The Hawkeyes' running back corps totaled just 20 rushes in Week 5, so Johnson stands to see as many, if not more, attempts when Iowa faces Illinois this coming Saturday.

Paces carries in win Johnson recorded 15 carries for 58 yards during Saturday's 27-10 win against Rutgers.
Impact Johnson led the Hawkeyes' rushing corps in carries ahead of Leshon Williams (11 carries, 64 yards) and Gavin Williams (seven carries, 17 rushing yards), who have been both been banged up over the past few weeks. These three rushers averaged a combined season-high of 4.2 yard per carry. The freshman back should continue to see a healthy workload now that he's carved out a role in Iowa's run-first offense.

Scores twice in easy win Johnson recorded 103 rushing yards and two touchdowns on seven carries while hauling in a seven-yard catch on his lone target during Saturday's 27-0 win against Nevada.
Impact Johnson made the first impact of his young Iowa career, scoring his team's first and final touchdowns against the Wolfpack. The vast majority of the freshman's production came on these two long rushing scores of 40 yards and 55 yards in the first and fourth quarters, respectively. Johnson may continue to see opportunities out of the backfield for the Hawkeyes so long as presumptive top rusher Leshon Williams (undisclosed) remains sidelined this season.
