Draft Profile: Bio
Jacobe Johnson from Mustang High School was rated a 4-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 4-star grade by 247 Sports. Following high school, Johnson opted to join Oklahoma after being heavily recruited.In 2023 as a freshman Johnson saw action in 8 games and played a total of 79 snaps at cornerback for the Sooners. He recorded just 4 tackles, no assists, while adding one stop. In coverage Johnson notched up no pass breakups, one interception, and an elite QB rating when targetted of 47.9.
As a sophomore in 2024 he played in 4 games and logged 56 snaps for the Sooners. He made just 7 tackles, no assists, and had one stop. In coverage he totaled no pass breakups, no interceptions, and a disapointing QB rating when targetted of 116.0.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Long, strong and fast, has a prototypical build for a press corner. He’s physical at the line of scrimmage, lining up under an opponent’s chin strap and consistently knocking receivers off their routes early thanks to quick, powerful hands.
- He’s tall-framed with long arms to match. With his powerful hands, straight-line speed, and fluidity in his hips, turning and chasing downfield shouldn’t be a problem.
- Physical, sheds defenders and works off blocks. Good toughness with recognition skills to fight through traffic and blow up screens.
- Is an explosive mover with quickness and speed. He’s at his best attacking downhill, shooting gaps in run support, and disrupting the backfield.
- On the boundary, Johnson has the strong core and hips to latch on to receivers and escort them to the sideline.
- He’s long and strong enough in his core to steer receivers to the sideline without getting grabby with his hands when playing inside technique.
- Tracks the ball well downfield and has the innate feel for high-point passes. He’s willing to come up and fill against the run and seems to take pride in delivering violent hits in run support.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Better in press coverage than in off coverage, when Johnson can look shaky and unsure when transitioning out of his backpedal. He’ll give up throws underneath.
- Feet aren’t ideal, as he gets sloppy in his backpedal and can be sluggish when transitioning to close on the ball.
- Willing but not threatening tackler. Doesn't have the quick-twitch reaction when he gears down to rebuild to top speed. More instinctive than explosive.
