Billy Wagner of the Annapolis Capital reports Navy point guard Corey Johnson has left the team, with plans to join the Midshipmen's football team his senior season.

A junior, Johnson averaged 9.5 ppg in an injury plagued sophomore season. His numbers were down this year (5.8 points per game), but Johnson started all 30 games and only Greg Sprink played more minutes.

A two-time all-state pick as an Indiana high schooler, Johnson reportedly turned down football offers from Big Ten schools to pursue hoops at the Naval Academy. He is expected to work at defensive back when Navy begins its spring drills later this month.
