As a child Johnson was sent to the Carlisle Indian School in Carlisle, PA. There he completed his secondary education and-- in the fall of 1899-- continued at Carlisle and began its college curriculum.
Johnson quickly became captain of the NU squad (an honor he shared with Harry Allen; eventually only Allen's name would be left on the captain roster) and began helping McCornack prepare his team.
Johnson's performance was a relief to McCornack, since Jimmy had missed the team training for the 1905 season, on a wedding tour.
