Where did Lonnie Johnson Jr go to high school?
Johnson attended Gary, Indiana’s West Side Leadership Academy. He had previously committed to play collegiate football for Ohio State University, but he later changed his mind and enrolled at San Bernardino Valley College before transferring to Garden City Community College.
Johnson recovered a blocked punt in the Divisional Round playoff game against the Kansas City Chiefs and returned it for a 25-yard touchdown, but the Chiefs’ historic comeback victory was attributed primarily to Johnson’s ineffectiveness in covering tight end Travis Kelce, in part because of an injury he sustained in the middle of the game.
