Malik Johnson: The Darter's Tight End Threat
Apopka Blue Darters tight end Malik Johnson made waves in the Central Florida recruiting scene with a 34-yard receiving touchdown in the 2025 spring jamboree. The 6-foot-4, 220-pound junior's athleticism and ball-tracking skills have caught the attention of college scouts. Johnson's impressive performance earned him a Power 4 offer, making him the first player from the Apopka program to receive such recognition. As the Blue Darters prepare for the upcoming season, Johnson is expected to be a key contributor in the team's passing game. He will look to build on his impressive spring showing and establish himself as a top target for quarterback Tyler Harris. Johnson's size, speed, and agility make him a versatile threat in the red zone. Scouts are watching to see how Johnson adapts to the increased attention and how he develops his route-running skills to take his game to the next level.
