MAC WR/KR Johnson enters draft; two others stay home … Toledo junior WR/KR Diontae Johnson announced earlier today that he will forego his final year of eligibility and enter the 2019 draft. The 5-10, 180-pound Johnson was a first-team All-MAC receiver for the second straight season; he was also named the conference’s special teams player of the year after he averaged 18.5 yards returning punts and 25.8 on KOs this fall when he returned one of each for scores. At the same time, Alabama junior OLB Terrell Lewis and Oregon junior C Jake Hanson, both of whom have at least mid-round potential, have both indicated that they will be back at school for the 2019 season next fall. In fact, Lewis, who didn’t play this year because of an injury will have two years of eligibility remaining should he wish to use them.
