Jadar Johnson is from Orangeburg-Wilkinson high school in Orangeburg, South Carolina. Coming out of high school, Jadar was a rated as a 3-star prospect and the 13th ranked player in South Carolina.
Early on in his career Johnson had to wait behind guys like Jayron Kearse and T.J. Green. Johnson, now a senior, has been arguably the best player on Clemson’s defense this year. The Orangeburg native is having his best season yet, recording 40 tackles and 4 interceptions thus far.
Coming into this season, the biggest question surrounding the Tigers was the inexperience in the secondary.
