HENDERSON, Nev. — C.J. Johnson’s career at Wyoming is over.

The Cowboys’ receiver has decided not to play his senior season, Wyoming coach Craig Bohl said Wednesday at Mountain West Media Days. Johnson will remain in school but is in the process of seeking a medical disqualification. Should he get it, he wouldn’t count against Wyoming’s scholarship numbers.

“You’ve got a significant playmaker that’s no longer out there,” Bohl said. “We want to wish C.J. the best. I had a really good conversation in my office, and we’re going to move forward with the guys we have.”

Johnson led the Cowboys with seven touchdown receptions in 2017 before tearing his anterior cruciate ligament in Wyoming’s Potato Bowl win over Central Michigan that season. The 6-foot-2, 210-pounder missed most of last season but took part in spring practice as the Cowboys eased him back in to team activities.

Bohl said Johnson didn’t have a physical setback during the spring but rather didn’t make as much progress as he would’ve liked.
