Darius Johnson: Titans' Defensive Star Earns Power 4 Offer
Lee's Summit West Titans cornerback Darius Johnson recorded 10 pass breakups in 10 games as a sophomore in 2024, a program record for a player in that age group. The 6-foot, Class of 2027 standout's impressive play has caught the attention of college scouts. Johnson is the first player from Lee's Summit West to earn a Power 4 offer, joining a growing list of top programs vying for his services. As a Class 6 school in the Missouri High School Activities Association, the Titans face stiff competition in the state's top division. Johnson's speed, agility, and ball-hawking skills make him a coveted prospect. He has been participating in summer camps and training sessions to refine his technique and prepare for the upcoming season. College scouts are watching to see how Johnson adapts to increased competition and whether he can build on his impressive sophomore campaign, particularly in terms of his ability to read and react to quarterback signals and make plays on the ball.
