Will Johnson

Has an excellent combination of size, experience, ball skills and intelligence. Basketball player with very natural athleticism and ability to track and play the ball in the air. Also excelled as a high school receiver and carries those tools over to the defensive side. Has shown he can play in a variety of coverages. Ball skills are valuable when he is playing deep zone, but All-Star games and 7-on-7s allowed us to see more of him in man to man where he is very capable. There are no verified speed times on him, but we did not see receivers run by him in high school or those events. Still likely needs more reps in man, but intangibles suggest he will pick that up quickly. Unusual size always presents possibilities for him to move around and play in the slot or even at safety, but first projection and primary projection is as a big outside cornerback. Has all the tools to compete early in his college career and be able to play beyond that.
