Member of the FSU Hall of Fame
Elected into the FSU Hall of Fame in 2016
Garrett Johnson is one of the most decorated scholar-athletes in the history of Florida State University, earning as many prestigious honors for his academic accomplishments as his impressive athletic honors.

The FSU and Atlantic Coast Conference shot put record-holder both indoors and outdoors, Johnson was a two-time NCAA champion and four-time conference champion in the shot put. The Seminole men claimed seven ACC team titles during his career (2003-2006). A four-time All-American, Johnson swept the 2006 NCAA indoor and outdoor shot put titles, after finishing fifth indoors in 2005. He also added All-American honors in the discus in 2006.

Aided by his shot put title and fifth-place discus finish, he was instrumental in delivering Florida State the 2006 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field National Championship; a first in program history.

Beyond his athletic feats, Johnson secured his place in FSU history in 2005 when he was named a Rhodes Scholar cementing the two-time Academic All-American and Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholar’s legacy.
