Former Big 12 Newcomer of the Year to play one season with South Carolina



South Carolina’s secondary just got a little bit stronger.


Isaiah Johnson, a two-year starting strong safety at Kansas, tweeted Sunday that he is joining South Carolina.


Johnson has already graduated at Kansas and will enroll at grad school at South Carolina. Johnson will be immediately eligible and will have one year of eligibility remaining.



Johnson, who spent seasons at Western Carolina and Iowa Western C.C., started all 24 games at strong safety for the Jayhawks during the past two seasons. He was named the Big 12’s Defensive Newcomer of the Year in 2013 after posting 73 tackles and placing second in the conference with five interceptions. He had 75 tackles in 2014, which was second on the team.


South Carolina ranked seventh in the SEC in pass efficiency defense.
