Former Oklahoma running back Justin Johnson has committed to play college football at Abilene Christian University and will begin the transfer process immediately.

Johnson, from Gilmer, had 14 carries for 24 yards his freshman year.

Johnson told KTBB's David Smoak, "I heard good things about Abilene Christian before I left, but as soon as I stepped on their campus it was unbelievable." Johnson continued, "The guys on their team and coaching staff are unbelievable, it's beyond football, all of them took me under their wing and welcomed me with open arms and I am excited about being apart of their family."

Johnson will be eligible to play this fall.

When asked if he regretted leaving Oklahoma, Johnson said, "I loved OU football and the tradition, it's a great school and they did everything
to help me on the field and in the classroom," he added, "I love the game of football and I felt like with all the hard work I've done I wanted a better chance to show my talent, I'm hungry to play right now and that's what I'm going to do at Abilene Christian this fall."
