Keyshawn Johnson Jr. taking leave from Nebraska Huskers Published: Jun 21, 2017 at 03:52 AM Chase Goodbread Bill Lee Jersey The start of highly touted WR Keyshawn Johnson Jr.'s college football career is on hold. Johnson Jr. will take a leave of absence from Nebraska with the hope of returning in January, according to his father, former NFL star Keyshawn Johnson Sr. The Huskers freshman received a citation for marijuana po se sion and po se sion of drug paraphernalia earlier this month after police found 4.5 grams of marijuana in Johnson's Roger Clemens Jersey dorm room, . "You're in college now," Johnson Sr. said, . "You're an adult. You're not a kid. You take a look at it from afar and let me know how important it is to you. ... One thing you will not do as my son is you will not embarra s Nebraska, you will not embarra s (coach) Mike Riley and you will not embarra s this family. If you mature and you're ready to resume your football career and academic goals, then Nebraska will be ready to embrace you." Johnson Sr. said the decision was a mutual one between himself, Cornhuskers coach Mike Riley, and the Nebraska athletic department. Johnson Jr., however, was not involved in the decision. "I never asked him. At the end of the day, I don't think that decision was in his hands. He squandered that decision," Johnson Sr. said. Riley also confirmed the leave of absence to the World-Herald. Johnson Jr. posted to Twitter in the wake of the news: Bounce back Keyshawn Jr. (@keyshawnnnn) Wade Boggs Jersey Johnson Jr. was a four-star recruit from Calabasas (Calif.) High School. He chose Nebraska over USC, Alabama, Clemson and Ohio State when he in March of 2016, in part due to the strong relationship between his father and Riley. He joined the Cornhuskers program when he enrolled in January, and participated, on a limited basis due to illne s, in Nebraska's spring practice. Riley was USC's offensive Carl Yastrzemski Jersey coordinator when Johnson starred for the Trojans in 1994 and 1995. "There's no 'Mike Riley is good friends with Keyshawn, so his son's automatically going to play.' That's not the game. That's not why he went to Nebraska," Johnson Sr. said. "He went there to work his tail off. To have an opportunity to be succe sful. But when you don't do that -- and you squander that -- what are you going to do?" Johnson Sr. was the first overall pick of the 1996 out of USC. He played 11 NFL seasons, was a member of the XXXVII-winning , and was a three-time selection. *Follow Chase Goodbread on Twitter * .
