MORGANTOWN, West Virginia — Moments ago, junior running back Justin Johnson announced that he is leaving the West Virginia football program and entering the transfer portal.
Johnson, a 5’11 running back from St. Louis, Missouri, was the Mountaineers’ 3rd leading rusher in 2022 with 430 yards and 3 touchdowns on 98 carries, but saw far less snaps and his production dropped off this past season, finishing the year with 38 carries for 150 yards and 1 touchdown.
In his message to “Mountaineer Nation”, Johnson expressed his gratitude to the fans for the support and love that he was shown throughout his time in Morgantown. Read his full message below:
