Meet Defensive End Deandre Johnson Aug 23, 2021

Show notes

In the latest edition of Through The Smoke, we have a conversation with defensive end Deandre Johnson.

Johnson, who is a transfer from Tennessee, is going to play a big part in the success of the 2021 Miami Hurricanes. This podcast looks to give UM fans an introduction to Johnson and potentially expose him to any businesses that are interested in his story to support him with a name, image, and likeness deal.

NOTE: If any businesses are inspired to partner with Johnson, you should contact his representative Joe DiBenedetto: joe@1of1agency.com.

A Miami native, Johnson overcame a horrific stabbing at Miami Killian High School and worked his way into being a Power Five recruit that went on to sign with Tennessee and play over 800 defensive snaps for the Volunteers.

The Hurricanes will look for Johnson to use that experience and earn a big role as an edge rusher in 2021.

You don’t want to miss this podcast as Johnson details his journey to UM.
