Ten targets in back-to-back games Johnson compiled six receptions (on 10 targets) for 76 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 24-19 defeat against Houston.

Impact Johnson has now recorded 10 targets in back-to-back games. With those increased opportunities, he's nabbed a combined 10 catches for 133 yards and a touchdown versus Kansas and Houston. On the season, he has 27 catches (on 41 targets) for 340 yards and a touchdown. He's a player worth watching as Kansas State finishes out their regular season schedule. They're off next week before hosting Arizona State.

Double-digit targets for first time Johnson reeled in 4 of 10 targets for 57 yards during Saturday's 29-27 victory over Kansas.

Impact Johnson logged double-digit targets for the first time this season. His previous high was six targets against Oklahoma State in Week 5. Teammate Jayce Brown led the way for Kansas State with 98 receiving yards, but it's worth noting that QB Avery Johnson is getting more comfortable with his top targets and throwing the ball more over the last month of the season. Kansas State will play at Houston next week.

Four catches in loss at BYU Johnson accrued four receptions (on five targets) for 30 yards during Saturday's 38-9 loss against Brigham Young.

Impact Johnson received a season-high five targets as Kansas State was never really in the game against the Cougars. Kansas State failed to record a touchdown for the first time since 2020. Johnson has had a limited impact on the 2024 season with 10 catches (on 12 targets) for 109 yards. Kansas State will play Oklahoma State next week.

Three Grabs at Tulane Johnson reeled in all three targets for 51 yards during Saturday's 34-27 victory versus Tulane.

Impact Johnson was the Wildcats' leading wide receiver at Tulane. Running back DJ Giddens was the most productive receiver overall with four grabs for 63 yards and a touchdown. With a dual-threat quarterback and a couple of capable running backs, it's going to be tough to depend on one of their receivers each week. Kansas State will host Arizona on Friday Night.

Out Saturday Johnson (undisclosed) was not warming up ahead of Saturday's game versus Rutgers, John Steppe of The Gazette reports.

Impact Johnson has only played in one game this season and caught two passes for 11 yards. Although he did play last week versus Nevada, it is unclear if his current injury is related to his absences over the first two weeks or if it is unrelated.

Doubtful for Saturday Johnson (undisclosed) has yet to practice this week and is doubtful for Saturday's contest against Rutgers, Steve Batterson of the Quad-City Times reports.

Impact Johnson missed back-to-back games to start the season due to an undisclosed injury but made his season debut last week against Nevada, catching two of four targets for 11 yards.

Plays again Saturday Johnson recorded two receptions (four targets) for 11 yards during Saturday's 27-0 win against Nevada.

Impact Johnson made his 2022 season debut against the Wolfpack after missing Weeks 1 and 2 with an undisclosed injury. The sophomore pass catcher was listed as the top wide receiver on Iowa's spring depth chart after leading the Hawkeyes' wideout corps in receiving yards last season (18 receptions, 56 targets, 352 yards, two touchdowns). Nevertheless, Johnson will likely have a tough time separating himself from fellow pass catchers Arland Bruce (three receptions, four targets, 50 yards, one touchdown), Nico Ragaini (two receptions, four targets, 56 yards) and tight end Sam LaPorta (two receptions, five targets, 13 yards) in Iowa's limited passing offense under starting quarterback Spencer Petras.

Dealing with minor injury Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz said Friday that he hopes to get Johnson (undisclosed) back on the practice field sometime next week," Scott Dochterman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Johnson recorded the second-most receiving yards (352) for Iowa in 2021 and is slated to be the Hawkeyes top wideout this season. While the extent of the injury remains unclear, it sounds like it's nothing serious, so the 6-foot-1 sophomore should be healthy by the regular season.
