SALT LAKE CITY — Jaylon Johnson is ready to make a difference on the University of Utah football team.
“I’m not out here just to be on the team. I’m out here to really have an impact,” the freshman defensive back said.
Johnson was a four-star recruit and sixth and eighth-ranked cornerback in the 2017 recruiting class by Rivals.com and Scout, respectively. He was also named to the U.S. Army All-American Bowl and ran a laser-timed 4.47 40-yard dash and recorded a 38.3 vertical jump at the Opening Finals camp.
Now that he’s on a collegiate roster, Johnson is vying for a starting spot, whether it comes at the beginning, middle or end of the season.
