Aldavius Johnson Jr. Aldavius Johnson Jr. 5'10" | 185 lbs | RB/ATH Huntington | 2029 State LA is the best running back in the state of Louisiana when it comes to the class of 2029, according to our rankings that were released in the class of 2029. He is going to become one of the better players in the class as well, as he has plenty of rushing reps ahead of him. As of now, he ranks as the No. 19 prospect in the class, along with being the No. 1 running back. All eyes will be on him as he looks to progress through his high school career.

AJ is a very explosive back that is an extremely fluid and smooth mover who changes directions effortlessly. Even though Johnson was one of the youngest prospects in this year’s camp, he showed exceptional athleticism that made an impression even in a crowded field. His best qualities are his lateral quickness and broad-jump explosion (8’0″–8’1″), which allow him to break long plays and create in confined spaces.

Parkway has a stable of Running Backs but AJ stood out as key piece to that group as just a freshman. He runs hard in a physical offensive run game. He will set the tone for backs in his class.

Johnson Jr. ran a 4.6 40 and showed elite agility, acceleration, and burst during the combine portion. His quick jump cuts and power between the tackles separate him from the pack when you turn on his film. With the tools of a future star and being a home run threat when he touches the football, expect Power 5 programs to start offering before the end of 2025. Johnson has 4–5 star upside and should get varsity touches as a freshman. Get to know him now.
