During the individual period, I was paying close attention to the DB group and Johnson popped immediately. In his backpedal he stays low and flips his hips rather well. I never saw him get stuck in a break or stumble. He has the athleticism to play sideline to sideline or to line up and play man against WR/TE. There’s a reason he’s been on the 2027 Prep Redzone Next National Watchlist since August 2022.

Aaron is a twitchy athlete coming out of the talent factory state of Florida. Aaron has electrifying speed that allows him to essentially do whatever he wants on the field. As a returner, Aaron uses his game-changing speed and athleticism t0 run around and through his opponents. Coming out of the backfield, Aaron as the agility to make moves on defenders and create separation from the second and third levels of the defense. As a receiver, Aaron  proves that he can get open on any route concept and has the hands and speed to catch the ball and make his way to the end zone. Overall, Aaron is definitely one of the fastest kids I’ve watched on tape thus far for the class of 2027. There’s a difference between actual speed and perceived speed, Johnson Jr. has both. With added size and continued growth, he could become a very exciting FBS prospect.
