His Facebook page serves as proof of this courage and determination.
Johnstone became aware that as the season wore on that his academic credits had become so confused that they would require one additional year at Tech to graduate, making the prospect of walking down center ice in graduation caps and gowns along with fellow Huskies who had earned NCAA Player of the Year recognition seem increasingly unlikely.
His teammates were more sensitive to Pearson’s situation and rallied behind him, denouncing his actions as “nonsense” while showing compassion for their teammate’s difficult health situation.
