Johnson breaks out in first game of sophomore campaign

Kenny Johnson showed promise in his freshman season, enough so, that heading into year two, the talented wide receiver was expected to be a major part of Pitt’s new-look offense. In Pitt’s season opening 55-24 win over Kent State, Johnson led the Panthers with seven catches for 105 yards and caught a touchdown. With Pitt’s quarterback situation in flux in 2023, it was hard for Johnson, or any pass catcher, to establish a rhythm, but it looked more fluid for Johnson in the first game of the 2024 campaign.
