Impact Johnson is unlikely to play given that Diego Pavia is also off Vanderbilt's injury report, but it appears as though the Commodores will have both of their top two quarterbacks available against the Gamecocks.

Clear of injury report Johnson (undisclosed) is off Vanderbilt's injury report ahead of the Commodores' tilt with South Carolina.
Upgraded to probable Johnson (undisclosed) is now probable for Saturday's game against South Carolina, per the SEC availability report.
Impact Johnson was upgraded to probable Thursday after popping up as questionable Wednesday. Johnson should be expected to be available as the primary backup to Diego Pavia.

Pops up on injury report Johnson (undisclosed) is listed as questionable for Vanderbilt's home game against South Carolina.
Impact Johnson has played very sparingly this season as Diego Pavia's backup. Pavia is listed as probable, but assuming the starting gunslinger is able to play, Drew Dickey would be the Commodores' top backup at the position should Johnson be unavailable.

Opening season as backup Johnson will not be Vanderbilt's starting quarterback Saturday against Virginia Tech, Pete Thamel of ESPN reports.
Impact Diego Pavia will be Vanderbilt's starting quarterback Saturday. Johnson being the Commodores' primary QB relies on their initial option not playing well or suffering an injury. During 2023, Cameron Rising suffered the latter, resulting in Johnson as QB1 for multiple games that year.
AUGUST 31 • ROTOWIRE
Co-starter for Week 1 Johnson is listed as a co-starter for Saturday's game against Virginia Tech.
Impact Vanderbilt have yet to announce who will start under center, meaning both Johnson and Diego Pavia seem set to split reps. Johnson appeared in seven games (three starts) for Utah in 2023, completing 54.2 percent of his passes for 499 yards and three touchdowns.
AUGUST 27 • ROTOWIRE
In the midst of QB battle Johnson is still battling Diego Pavia for the starting quarterback gig in Nashville, Aria Gerson of The Tennessean reports.
Impact Johnson transferred to Vanderbilt after two seasons with Utah. In 2023, he showed flashes of brilliance as a dual-threat gunslinger, but ultimately sought more opportunities elsewhere when Cameron Rising elected to run it back in Salt Lake City. Credit Johnson for putting up an excellent fight with Pavia, who is quietly coming off a very good season for New Mexico State. This will be a battle to the finish, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see a starter named a mere week from the Commodores' opener against Virginia Tech.
