DeShawn Johnson: Buford's Bright Cornerback Hope
Buford's DeShawn Johnson recorded 10 pass breakups as a sophomore, a number that led the Wolves' secondary. As the first Buford player to earn a Power 4 offer, Johnson's potential is undeniable. Standing 6-foot-1, Johnson's length and athleticism give him an edge in coverage. He's been working on his footwork and technique during the offseason, a focus that should serve him well in the Wolves' 6A schedule. Johnson's versatility has also caught coaches' attention, as he's been used in various defensive packages, including as a nickelback. With Buford's high expectations, Johnson will be counted on to make plays and provide a spark in the secondary. Scouts are watching to see how Johnson adapts to the increased level of competition and whether he can continue to develop his skills and become a shutdown corner.
