the top priority in terms of ways to stop the La Salle attack. It worked. I still managed to lock in on Johnson with each passing rep, this is an elite competitor who didn’t pout or give up solely because of a pre-snap rotation to slow him down both over top and underneath. Johnson still came out of his release with full intention of getting the football regardless of coverage. More than a 200-yard game, this performance was equally impressive to me. Managing being the focal point of an offensive is difficult. Currently ranks as a top five 2028 in Pennsylvania. One of the elite separators across the Northeast region of the country.
- Finding different ways to get him the football should be a priority because he can change a possession without needing much space. His build points toward the slot, but limiting him to one role would waste much of his value, as he can motion into the backfield, work through condensed formations and handle manufactured touches from several locations. He has already shown that his game extends beyond quick throws, with enough vertical ability to separate and threaten coverage farther downfield. Once possession is secured, the acceleration comes immediately and his ability to change direction makes clean tackling a challenge in the open field. Routine completions around the line of scrimmage can quickly become explosive plays, and any crease gives him a realistic chance to score. That same combination of speed, vision and elusiveness should translate naturally to the return game. He has the skill set to become a featured run and catch weapon while handling primary return duties for a Big Ten or SEC program.

is a special athlete. He is one of those rare athletes you watch, and all you can think about is: Wow. He can score anytime he touches the ball. He is that good of a player. He has a great combination of speed and athleticism that is off the charts. Johnson’s ability to score as a wide receiver is flat-out special. If La Salle College wins back-to-back titles, they need Johnson to be special. Johnson has a ton of offers from every major college. He will have plenty of good choices to pick from.

is a top-flight athlete in the 2028 class. He probably deserved to be ranked much higher. At the 7-on-7 tournament, he was outstanding. His ability to make difficult catches look easy is impressive. His body control is excellent, as he can contort his body to make difficult catches look easy. Johnson’s skill is off the charts, and this was in full effect during the 7-on-7 tournament. He recently picked up offers from Alabama and Nebraska. An impressive two offers, I expect more offers to come his way.

The 1st 2028 prospect I am profiling here. He is an absolute stud of a wide receiver. He is a highly skilled athlete who can run and move at a high rate. His recruitment has blown up this offseason. He got offers from Syracuse, Duke, Penn State, Pitt, Akron, and Wake Forest. I expect this is just the start of his recruitment.
Blessed to receive an offer from Wake Forest! #agtg @EdOBrienCFB @WhitworthN @LaSalleFball @adamgorney @ChadSimmons_ @BrianDohn247 @SWiltfong_ pic.twitter.com/FqJLu0OBcp

He’s a human highlight reel every time he steps on the field. Arguably the best hands in the state for the 2028 class with athleticism that is offer the charts.
