LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) Nebraska freshman receiver Keyshawn Johnson Jr. is taking a leave of absence from the Cornhuskers this fall.
Johnson on June 9 was ticketed for marijuana possession after a resident director reported suspected drug use in a dormitory room. The four-star recruit from Calabasas, California, enrolled early and went through spring practice.
Johnson’s father, former NFL receiver Keyshawn Johnson, told the Omaha World-Herald that he wants his son to “mature” before hopefully returning to Nebraska in January.
Huskeronline.com first reported Johnson’s departure on Tuesday night, and coach Mike Riley confirmed in a text to the World-Herald that Johnson left the team. An athletic department spokesman, in response to a request for comment on Wednesday, referred The Associated Press to the Johnson family’s comments.
