Rutgers bio here.  247Sports page here. This article talks about his entering the transfer portal.

Gooden, a big framed DB, should be a strong addition the UMass secondary.

George Johnson, a 6-0 186 pound athlete transfer from Michigan has verbaled to UMass. Johnson can play WR or DB.

Johnson's Michigan bio.

This article talks about his entering the transfer portal. This post from August 2021 features Johnson.

The Minutemen need athleticism everywhere and Johnson should see playing time early in Amherst.
