Saint Louis Crusaders' Carson Johnson Makes History with Power 4 Offer
Carson Johnson, the dominant defensive end for the Saint Louis Crusaders, has etched his name in program history by becoming the first player from the school to earn a Power 4 offer. Johnson's impressive 12-sack season in 2024, which led the Crusaders to a 7-3 record in 5A Division I, caught the attention of college scouts. His 4.6 40-yard dash time and 32-inch vertical leap further solidified his status as a top prospect. As a rising senior, Johnson is expected to lead the Crusaders' defense once again, and his recruitment will be closely watched this summer. With a strong showing at the upcoming HHSAA summer camps, Johnson could potentially add more Power 4 offers to his list. Scouts are watching for Johnson to refine his pass-rushing technique and demonstrate his ability to play with more consistency in the trenches.
