"Sweet home Alabama, so excited to start this new journey," wrote Johnson. "'Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago.' Isaiah 25:1."

The Fairhope, Ala., native spent one season in Baton Rouge, finishing her freshman campaign with a 7-1 record and a 1.41 earned run average, recording 29 hits, ten runs (nine earned), and four home runs. She pitched 44.2 innings in 12 appearances, including seven starts.
