Description

In this episode of Beyond Boundaries, I sit down with longtime friend and Ole Miss safety Zach Johansen. From tearing his ACL in high school to grinding his way into a Power 5 SEC program, Zach shares the full story—transfers, walk-on battles, NIL insights, and the reality of competing with 30+ transfers a year. We also dive into Ole Miss culture under Lane Kiffin, life as one of the program’s longest-tenured players, and how basketball and football overlap more than you think. We close out with some deep NBA talk—from MVP debates to why international talent is dominating. A must-listen for athletes, hoopers, and grinders alike.
