Johnson is a 4-star prospect who rates as the Class of 2017's No. 13 tight end, according to Scout.com. He also checks in as the fifth-best TE from the West region and the best incoming player at the position from the state of Arizona.

Although listed at tight end, the Highland High School star fits the mold of a modern TE in that he's easily capable of moving outside to play the role of a physical wide receiver.
