TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Defensive end Jermaine Johnson II was named a first-team All-American Thursday night by the Walter Camp Football Foundation. He was previously named a first-team All-American by CBS Sports/247Sports and ESPN and a second-team All-American from The Athletic. Last week, Johnson became the eighth Seminole to win Atlantic Coast Conference Defensive Player of the Year. Johnson, from Eden Prairie, Minnesota, tallied 70 tackles and led the ACC with 18.0 tackles for loss and 12.0 sacks. His TFL and sack totals were the most by an FSU defender since DeMarcus Walker had 21.5 and 16.0, respectively, in 2016. Walker, now with the Houston Texans, also earned Defensive Player of the Year honors that season, the most recent Seminole to win the award. Johnson leads all Power 5 defensive linemen in tackles and ranks in the top-six nationally in sacks and tackles for loss. Johnson was a four-time ACC Defensive Lineman of the Week, the most honors in 2021 for any defensive player.
