USC tailback Stafon Johnson, who suffered season-ending throat injuries in a September weightlifting accident, is expected to announce soon that he will make himself available for the NFL draft, a family source confirmed Saturday. Johnson's intent to turn pro was first reported last week by NFL.com. After the Trojans' first workout in preparation for the Emerald Bowl, Coach Pete Carroll said that he had spoken to Johnson and that the senior "hasn't decided that yet, officially." Johnson, who is in his fourth year at USC, could petition the NCAA for an extra year of eligibility because of the injury. Carroll said that an announcement by Johnson was imminent and that he will support whatever decision.
