    Duke Transfer Brandon Johnson Makes Stunning Interception in First Start for Oregon

    By Jackson Naugle,

    6 hours ago

    After transferring from Duke this past offseason, Oregon cornerback Brandon Johnson is already making his presence felt during his first start in Eugene.

    During the second quarter of the Ducks' season-opener against Idaho, Johnson's team needed a spark badly, leading just 7-0 while the Vandals drove down the field looking to tie the game.

    Luckily for Oregon, Johnson provided that spark just moments later, making a juggling, toe-tapping interception in the back of the end zone to give the ball back to the Ducks.

    On the ensuing possession, Oregon's Jordan James capped off a six-play drive with a six-yard touchdown run, and the Ducks took a more commanding 14-0 lead.

    Johnson intercepted three passes a season ago at Duke, where he was an all-conference honorable mention in the ACC.
