Michigan All-American cornerback Will Johnson’s next football game might be played on a Sunday.
The projected first-round cornerback is out for the Wolverines’ trip to No. 2 Ohio State on Saturday with a toe injury. Johnson has been limited since leaving the game at Illinois on Oct. 19, and his next stop is expected to be the NFL draft.
Johnson is ranked as a top 10 player overall by Field Level Media in the 2025 draft rankings,
The defensive MVP of the national championship game in January, Johnson has two interception returns for touchdowns this season. He had four picks last season for the undefeated Wolverines, including an interception of then-quarterback Kyle McCord in the rivalry game against Ohio State that featured Johnson matching up with 2023 first-rounder Marvin Harrison Jr.
Without Johnson on the field, opponents are averaging 6.6 yards per pass attempt. Ohio State features two wide receivers headed for all-conference notice in Jeremiah Smith and Emeka Egbuka. Egbuka caught a TD pass among three receptions for the Buckeyes at Michigan last year.
