Show Notes
After declaring for the 2026 NFL Draft, former Tiffin University Quarterback Alex Johnson joins the Call The Huddle podcast to talk his career so far. Following a recent ruling against junior college eligibility years, Johnson's off-season focus turned to preparing for the next level of football — the NFL.
Through two years with the Dragons (2024-25) Johnson put up career-high stats in each year before combining for 58 passing touchdowns, and showed his ability to dominate from the pocket. The 6-foot-5, 230 pound passer said he learned lots from every stop in his career, starting with two years at Santa Barbara City College (JUCO) in California in 2021-22 under head coach Craig Moropoulos.
