Draft Profile: Bio
Johnson has traveled the country as a cornerback, starting at Ohio State, moving to LSU, then Oklahoma State, where he played eight games in 2025 with 16 tackles and a pair of pass breakups.He landed at Florida Atlantic for 2026, a sixth college season and a step down in competition to earn a featured role and put fresh tape on film.
At around 6-0 and 185 pounds he is a long, twitchy corner whose experience is deep but whose recent production and frame are the questions.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Length and twitch with good change-of-direction
- Burst to the ball and flashes of ball skills
- Deep experience across three Power-conference programs
- Athletic traits to develop as a cover corner
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Needs to add weight and fill out a lean frame
- Journeyman with modest recent production
- Older prospect on his fourth program
- Stepped down to the Group-of-5 level for 2026
- Thin body of impactful tape to date
Scouting Report: Summary
Johnson is a long, twitchy corner with change-of-direction and flashes of ball skills who has logged experience at Ohio State, LSU and Oklahoma State before landing at Florida Atlantic. However, he needs to add weight, the recent production is modest, and he is an older prospect stepping down a level for 2026.Overall, Johnson is a traits-and-experience developmental corner whose length and quickness are the draw, with the thin production and frame the concerns. He projects as a developmental depth corner, with the ceiling of a rotational cover man if he stars at FAU and the floor of a camp-and-special-teams body.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank
in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance.
For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.
*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
