BREAKING: Tez Johnson Shocks SEC, Flips to Indiana Hoosiers Over NIL Fallout
In a move that sent shockwaves through college football, star wide receiver Tez Johnson announced his decision to leave the SEC and commit to the Indiana Hoosiers. Johnson, who had been a staple in the SEC with his electric plays and consistent performances, cited dissatisfaction with NIL promises as the driving factor behind his unexpected flip.

Tez Johnson stood at the podium, a sea of reporters flashing cameras and eager fans leaning in for his every word. The crimson-and-cream Indiana Hoosiers cap perched on his head made a clear statement.
“First, I want to thank my teammates, coaches, and the SEC fans who’ve supported me throughout my journey,” Johnson began, his voice steady but laced with conviction. “But sometimes, you have to make decisions that are best for your future and your family.”
Behind the scenes, whispers of unfulfilled NIL agreements had been circulating for weeks. Johnson, a player who had embraced the new era of college athletics, had signed multiple lucrative deals upon entering the SEC. However, delays in payments and shifting priorities from sponsors left him feeling undervalued.
“I’ve always believed that if someone makes a promise, they should keep it,” Johnson continued. “Indiana offered me more than just a platform—they gave me trust, transparency, and a plan for my career both on and off the field.”
The Hoosiers, looking to rebuild their football program, had quietly been assembling an impressive recruiting class under head coach Tom Allen. Landing Johnson was a coup, signaling their ambitions to challenge traditional Big Ten powers.
The decision didn’t come easily for Johnson. SEC programs had courted him heavily, even after the NIL fallout became public. But the allure of being a cornerstone for Indiana’s resurgence—and the stability of their NIL structure—proved irresistible.
As Johnson wrapped up his announcement, he smiled confidently. “The SEC was my past. The Big Ten is my future. I can’t wait to bring my energy and my game to Bloomington.”
