Expert Analysis
Chris Smith | Prep Redzone Scout
Out of all the linemen listed here, Johnson may be the most improved and a definite stock riser in our next updated rankings that bigger schools need to start looking into. From an athletic, mobility point of view, Johnson is one of the best in our senior class with those two traits. His senior film shows an athletic blocker with excellent footwork and lateral quickness along with improved strength that shows up with his run blocking. Johnson is a tenacious competitor that brings grit and toughness to the trenches along with versatility. I could see this Mid-TN product playing tackle, guard or possible center on the next level. He still needs to gain a little more weight while forming his frame but the raw tools are certainly there. Really like what I’m seeing from Johnson right now and the upside he brings to the college game.

Read EvaluationChris Smith | Prep Redzone Scout
One piece among a strong Patriots offensive line, Johnson had a very good showing Friday night where he was able to maintain the blindside very well against a good Rebels defensive line, especially versus a #PRZTN Top 50 prospect in C.J. Smith. Tall and long with a body holding no bad weight, Johnson has the look of a future D1 prospect based on his physical traits alone but his ability to move his feet against a top pass rusher shows me tremendous upside for possibly Power Five. His lower base agility and body movements is what impressed the most watching his work in Chattanooga. Johnson does need to continue adding more power and strength but the tools are there to be a swing tackle on the next level with upside to stay on the left side.
