1 catch for 2 yds vs TCU, scouted...Jake Johnson transferred from Texas A&M to join his older brother, Max Johnson, at UNC, playing behind Nesbit and Copenhaver. Despite considering other programs, Jake committed to the Tar Heels just three weeks after Max, the new quarterback. As a redshirt sophomore, Jake recorded his first catch for the Tar Heels at Minnesota and has also appeared in games against Charlotte, NC Central, JMU, Duke, and Pitt. He's shown reliability when targeted, having caught both passes thrown his way in 2024. He has a verified 80" wingspan. There's potential for more chemistry on the field between the Johnson brothers, as Jake continues to integrate into the Tar Heel offense.
