Former University of Utah quarterback Brian Johnson has signed with the United Football League’s New York franchise, according to his agent.
Agent David Canter announced that Johnson was joining the unnamed UFL team on his Twitter account a few minutes ago.
Johnson led the Utes to a 13-0 season last year, and Utah defeated Alabama in the Sugar Bowl.
The 22-year-old Texas native is featured on the cover of the NCAA Football 10 EA Sports video game.
“It’s a chance to keep playing football,” Johnson said during the UFL tryouts. “You have to take every opportunity you can get. You have to keep knocking on doors. You have to show them you can compete, that you have the physical tools they want.”
