Minter, a Peachtree Ridge grad who is LSU's middle linebacker, is one of the college award's five finalists along with Georgia's Jarvis Jones, Oregon's Dion Jordan, Alabama's C.J. Mosley and Notre Dame's Manti Te'o.
Johnson, a Central Gwinnett senior, is up for the high school Butkus honor. The other high school finalists are Reuben Foster of Auburn (Ala.), Peter Kalambayi of Matthews Butler (N.C.), Isaac Savaiinaea of Honolulu Punahou (Hawaii) and Jaylon Smith of Fort Wayne Bishop Luers (Ind.).
