Presumably, the “setup” that Russini is referring to is the organizational structure, including the general manager position. It’s been widely known that a key factor in Johnson’s decision throughout this process was going to be having alignment with the general manager.

Johnson is rated as one of the top cornerbacks this draft cycle. He only played in six games this year due to a foot injury, but was a first-team All-American last season with the Wolverines.
