9. Dominique Johnson

Dominique Johnson became a Razorback with a bang. He committed to Mizzou nearly six months before the early signing period, but instead of signing with the Tigers, Johnson surprised everyone with a flip to Arkansas on signing day. He was instantly a fan favorite.

After stints at tight end during his freshman season, Johnson returned to his natural position in 2021. He was part of a stable of running backs, including Raheim Sanders, AJ Green, and Trelon Smith. Johnson led the RB room team with 5.9 yards per carry. He was arguably the best back of the group.

Unfortunately, his third year as a Razorback was set back with an ACL injury in the 2022 Outback Bowl. The injury happened early enough in the year that Johnson could possibly return in 2022, and that's exactly what he did. But the injury bug bit him again in October, reinjuring the same knee. In 2023, Johnson saw the field again but saw little playing time, even though he averaged 5.4 yards a carry.

He finished his career with 785 yards rushing on 136 attempts and eight touchdowns.
