Dillon Johnson’s father, Cedric Moore, raised his son with a strong ethic for his passion. Even if the college football star often mentions his father on his social media, pictures of him rarely come into the public.
The former Mississippi State Bulldogs running is himself a father now despite being a college student. He welcomed his son, Dillon Jr., in August 2022 with his girlfriend, Jalyn Thomas.
After embracing the joy of being a dad, Dillon didn’t shy away from sharing his emotional side and stated that he cried when he first saw his son.
Dillon Johnson is a college football running back for the Washington Huskies, playing alongside quarterback Sam Huard.
The Huskies have been home to NFL picks like Trent McDuffie, Drew Sample, and Jacob Eason, to name a few.
Johnson joined the University of Washington in 2022 as a senior-year transfer from Mississippi State University.
During his three seasons (2020-22) with the Mississippi Bulldogs, he managed 1,198 yards and 11 touchdowns on 229 carries and 149 receptions for one receiving touchdown.
