Caleb Holfoth | Prep Redzone Scout
Johnson had some solid Junior tape, and I saw him live play some 7v7 (mostly LB_), and there is some good athleticism in his game. This breakout was a little expected because of that, but with a much bigger role offensively, Johnson has been one of the top RB prospects in Syracuse this fall.
Johnson has been the offense for Cicero-North Syracuse – three games over 150 yards with the only game he struggled coming against a CBA-Syracuse defense that looks like the best in NYS. Johnson has had a lot of success playing both ways – the tape shows a great motor, and he is a willing pass protector on tape, which I like. He holds a PWO from Syracuse and has taken full advantage of a bigger role so far this season.

Johnson picked up a PWO (Preferred Walk-On) offer from Hometown Syracuse. Johnson is one of the top returners in Section III and is in-line for a big increase in role at RB although he plays both ways.

While Johnson may not have made some of the flashy plays everyone likes to see on 7v7 the LB for Syracuse Elite was a big reason they were so successful early on Sunday. Syracuse Elite only allowed 23 points between their first two games on Sunday and Johnson’s coverage and ability to take away the short area of the field were a big reason why. Johnson had an exceptional game against Florida/New England Outlawz national team which features several D1 prospects and helped limit their offense and put their quarterbacks under pressure to get the ball out with limited open targets. Johnson may not have been a top performer in terms of generating INTs or highlight plays but without his coverage and presence in the middle of the field Syracuse Elite’s defense would not have been nearly as stout.
