Johnson, a three-sport athlete who also participates in track & field and basketball, was a member of Hitchcock’s basketball team that won two consecutive state titles. He stated to 247Sports that he is searching for the university that would best make use of his skills.
“I’m really looking at how they are going to use me,” he stated. “Will I be inside or outdoors when I sit down with all these coaches and stuff? How can they make me vulnerable?”
According to the 247Sports Scouting Report, Johnson is an electrifying playmaker with explosive skills on offense and special teams who has the potential to be a game-changer at the next level.
“TXHSFB 3A level multi-phase playmaker. little in stature, yet plays with a wiry power. versatile talent with the ability to play in the secondary or as a receiver. He could be too skilled with the ball in his hands to prevent him from scoring. Hasty, inventive run-after-catch skill with a rapid burst of redirection. Excellent acceleration combined with a strong start at the line. Just quicker than his opponents at the small-school level at TXHSFB. possesses a good background in many sports, basketball experience, and a sub-11.00 100-meter time. I need further specific information on the specs and frame potential. Fast, for sure, but there could be room to extract a little more from the high end. Projects as a high-major receiver with the potential to be a productive playmaker with upside and to contribute early special teams value.”
