Our last Prep Redzone Iowa evaluation of Johnson was written eight months ago. Since then, he played a key role in helping Okoboji reach the postseason in 2025. The junior recorded 39.0 tackles, 27 of which were solo stops. He piled up 10.5 tackles for loss and delivered a sack. It’s important to note that the production came in just five games. Johnson provides evidence as to how he impacts games during his 11th-grade highlight video. He has a good feel for the middle linebacker position, diagnosing plays before the snap, which gets him moving in the right direction when the is underway. Johnson gets downhill quickly and flies to the football, doing so under control and with balance, helping keep the ball in front of him. A good athlete with speed, fluid movements and long arms, Johnson sticks well in coverage. He has a projectable frame that should be able to fill out in a college strength and conditioning program while keeping the agility and lateral quickness.

Here’s an exciting under-the-radar prospect out of Spencer with proven production and impressive sophomore tape. Junior Brody Johnson Brody Johnson 6'3" | 205 lbs | LB/RB Okoboji | 2027 State IA posted a solid 40 tackles, 11 TFLs, seven sacks, and an interception returned for a touchdown. Brody is a solid linebacker who displays sound gap play with his ability to read offenses and then step into lanes to stuff the run. Johnson uses his quick twitch very well at the LOS to evade blockers and spill into the backfield. Brody is vicious in his pursuit but also does a good job keeping himself from overpursuing and taking himself out of position to make a stop. He has good size at 6’3″, 205 pounds, with room to continue maxing out his frame. Very impressive prospect to keep a close eye on this fall.
