Johnson recorded a career-high 18 tackles in the Wildcats' 41-17 win over the Baylor Bears. 

Johnson shared the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week honor with Houston defensive back Will James.

Kansas State running back Joe Jackson and BYU running back L.J. Martin were named Big 12 Offensive Players of the Week. Iowa State kicker Kyle Konrardy and UCF kicker Noe Ruelas earned Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week honors. BYU quarterback Bear Bachmeier was named Big 12 Freshman of the Week for the sixth time this season. Kansas State's offensive line and BYU's defensive line earned the weekly "Beef of the Week" award.  

Johnson is the fourth Wildcat to receive Big 12 weekly honors this season. Arizona quarterback Noah Fifita was named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week, twice. UA running backs Ismail Mahdi and Quincy Craig also earned Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week honors this season. 

Arizona's offensive line was presented with the "Beef of the Week" award following the Wildcats' win over Kansas State in September. 

Johnson's 18 tackles against Baylor are the most by a Wildcat since former All-American linebacker Scooby Wright III tallied 19 tackles against UCLA in 2014 — arguably the best season by any Arizona defensive player.

Johnson is on pace to become the first Arizona safety since Darrell Brooks in 2004 and '05 to lead the Wildcats in tackles in back-to-back seasons. Johnson's 94 tackles this season matches his season total from last year. 

"Anyone that follows Arizona football knows Dalton Johnson is a household name around here," said Arizona senior defensive back Treydan Stukes. "As the guys who see him work every day, we know that's no surprise. He's one of the best tackling safeties I've ever met in my life. For him to have 18 (tackles) is pretty crazy, but I don't doubt it, because he sticks his nose everywhere and he doesn't make a lot of mistakes in that realm." 

Arizona head coach Brent Brennan said Johnson is "one of those awesome guys who chose to stay (for five years) and here we are in Casino Del Sol Stadium on Senior Day and he has 18 tackles?"

Added Brennan: "Get out of here. That's how it should end. That's storybook." 

Arizona concludes the regular season this week, when the Wildcats face the Arizona State Sun Devils at Mountain America Stadium in Tempe on Friday at 7 p.m. on Fox.
