Expert Analysis
Oliver West | Prep Redzone Scout
One of a loaded and still-growing crop of 2024s out of the Land of Lincoln, Waubonsie Valley DE/TE hybrid Julian Johnson was busy this fall with unofficial gameday visits, and like many Illinois natives does a good job of getting out and competing on the Chicagoland camp circuit, and things all came to a head after his junior tape made the rounds, resulting in his first offer from Northern Illinois in early January. His stock has continued to climb and climb, and what began with eight FBS and FCS offers advanced to recent P5 offers from Rutgers, Indiana, Minnesota, Iowa, and Boston College, with Furman and Bowling Green State mixed in for good measure. Schools are recruiting Johnson to play both offense or defense, and his outstanding length, speed, and athleticism will keep them interested and locked in for the rest of his recruitment. Great ball skills, hands, and toughness, the speed to run down plays as the backside DE, and long arms that help him shed blocks or stay attached to defenders, depending on his position that rep. He plays WR right now and shows the ability to take the top off the defense, but his frame screams TE at the next level and I’m sure potential suitors are taking note of his willingness to block as well. Johnson is like a long, athletic ball of clay right now that CFB programs are itching to get their hands on.
