Wide receiver Cam Johnson transferred to Northwestern for his sixth and final season of college football and has made an immediate impact.

Johnson has drawn on his experiences from Vanderbilt and Arizona State to become Northwestern's leader in catches and receiving yards through three games. The 6-foot, 205-pound wide out has established himself as one of quarterback Ben Bryant's favorite targets, alongside the versatile AJ Henning.

Interim head coach David Braun said Johnson's leadership has been invaluable for his position group and for the whole team.

"There's a level of confidence with Cam that's contagious," Braun said. "You don't hear him speak much, it's not outward or over the top. It's talking with his quarterback, talking with the wide receivers, encouraging guys and then letting his play [speak for itself]."
