Expert Analysis
Carey Smith | Prep Lacrosse Scout
Johnson is an athletic and fleet-footed attack/middie with the elite stick skills you expect from a Canadian offensive prospect. Johnson scored a beautiful goal in this game where he drove up the hash from GLE and then turned and unleashed a lefty jump shot into the net. College coaches will also love the speed and field vision Johnson displayed in transition as well as coming out of the box. Johnson also flashed the ability to hustle back and play SSDM for stretches.

Johnson is an elite offensive prospect with extensive experience playing in the Six Nations box league. Thus, defenders across the state of Pennsylvania should mark him closely from the moment he steps on the field. Johnson runs like a gazelle and owns serious shake, so he thrives on the fast break. Those same assets enable Johnson to blow past defenders in 6v6 action too. Despite his wiry frame, Johnson has shown that he can run through stick checks and body contact on his way to the cage. When he gets in close, Johnson’s deep bag of finishing moves make him impossible for opposing goalies to stop. Johnson owns elite shooting skills, but his incredible field vision makes him a threat to feed open teammates while on the run too. Johnson’s creative offensive instincts keep him one step ahead of opposing defenses. The upside on this highly skilled 2028 prospect is ridiculous.
