There are a number of quarterbacks who are expected to enter the portal this offseason, including some who have starting experience. ### What's next for Johnson? Johnson is expected to be a hot commodity in the transfer portal. He is a talented quarterback with a lot of potential. He is likely to have his pick of schools to choose from. It is unclear where Johnson will end up, but he is sure to be a valuable addition to any team. He is a talented quarterback who has a lot of experience. He is also a good leader and has a strong work ethic. It will be interesting to see where Johnson ends up and how he performs in 2023. He has the potential to be a star quarterback at the college level.
