Expert Analysis
Cooper Morreale | Prep Redzone Scout
Keijaun Johnson, a South Carolina commit, has been one of Woodlawn’s top performers this season.
“At 6’2 175, Johnson has great size and athleticism he uses to fly around the secondary and create big stops. Johnson is physical and incredibly reliable in coverage. He consistently shuts down WRs deep downfield and does a great job tracking the ball and using his hands to come away with impressive PBUs and INTs.
Johnson is also great against the run. He flies downhill, fills in lanes, and wraps up/delivers huge hits to RBs to stop them for little to no gain. With his speed, it’s easy for Johnson to make plays from sideline to sideline- he’s a rangy DB who can make plays in pursuit anywhere on the field.“
Johnson has also lined up and dominated at WR this season. Make sure you check out some of his tape from this year- he’s been playing at a high level:

About 30 minutes ago, Johnson committed to South Carolina! He’s going to be a future star in their secondary, and I can’t wait to watch- he’s got everything you need in a DB.
Check out some of Johnson’s film below, and watch out for him this fall:

in Birmingham, he’s a seriously impressive 2026 DB who had a terrific performance in camp and all of last season in Woodlawn’s secondary. Throughout the camp, Johnson was one of the most impressive DBs- consistently coming away with PBUs during the one-on-one period, and shutting down a wide variety of WRs from all over. I wasn’t surprised to see this- I really loved Johnson’s tape before making the trip on Saturday.
At 6’2 175, Johnson has elite size and athleticism at DB and can come up with huge stops against the run and pass. Johnson dominates in coverage- using his size and speed to consistently shut down WRs all around the field and make plays on the ball. Johnson is just as good at defending the run- he flies downfield, fills in rushing lanes, and delivers huge hits to the ball down by the line of scrimmage. Johnson had a huge year last fall- finishing the season with 27 total tackles (17 solo, 3 for loss), multiple interceptions, and one forced fumble. With how well he played, Johnson has picked up collegiate attention from some great programs this offseason, picking up offers from Ole Miss and Troy over the last few weeks. Be sure to watch Johnson’s tape below, and this fall- he should be on everyone’s radar.
