Lynchburg, Va. – With at least a half dozen Flames entering the portal after an end of season coaching change, you might expect a senior All-American to opt out of a game that would open up the chance of a potential injury.

”It shows true character, and who you are when the house is crumbling down based on how everything’s going - right? Me personally, the person I am, I’m not the type of person that if the whole house is crumbling down, - is on fire-- and I’m running out to save myself. I’d rather be down with all my family in the fire then be the one that runs out to save myself. That’s just how I look at it. I’m big on loyalty when things are looking good or when things are looking bad I’m gonna be there, " Johnson says.
