NFL Draft Prospect indicted on rape charge
Former Tennessee star linebacker A.J. Johnson, one of the Volunteers’ top NFL draft prospects, was indicted by a grand jury on two counts of aggravated rape.
“We’re making plans for him (Johnson) to surrender,” attorney Tom Dillard told the Knoxville News Sentinel on Thursday.
Johnson, one of the SEC’s leading tacklers during a decorated college career, was suspended by coach Butch Jones in November after becoming the subject of a Knoxville Police Department investigation into an alleged rape.
