A national-reach talent bringing expansion energy from the Pacific Northwest to a traditionally East-heavy landscape, Landon Johnson made an immediate splash at Eastlake. As a freshman, he posted 43 goals and 35 assists — setting the school’s single-season assist record and recording the most points ever by a freshman with 78 total. Landon exploded for 99 points (63G, 36A) as a sophomore, earning US Lacrosse All-American (Washington) honors in 2024.

Johnson followed that with a standout junior season in 2025, helping lead the Wolves to capture the Washington State High School Boys Lacrosse Association (4A) State Championship while earning US All-American (Washington) recognition for the second time. Performing on the biggest stage while developing as a dynamic playmaker, he has emerged as one of the premier offensive threats not just on the West Coast, but nationally.

Landon is a smooth, versatile athlete who can play attack or midfield, thriving with or without the ball. His 1v1 skill set includes sharp footwork, quick hands, and the ability to change angles on his dodge. Johnson’s lacrosse IQ allows him to anticipate the double team, find seams, and make his teammates around him better. He combines ambidextrous skill, smart decision-making, and toughness to help him absorb contact while staying in the play. Landon’s creativity, stick skills, and vision make defenders miss — whether finishing, feeding, or creating space off the dodge.

Verbally committed to the admissions process at Cornell, Johnson will enter the college game ready to contribute to a program already setting the national standard. His combination of individual skill, off-ball awareness, and poise under pressure makes him well-suited for the Big Red’s free-flowing, championship-caliber offense.

I developed a tremendous appreciation for Johnson’s game at the National All-Star Games. The Sammamish (Wash.) native had six goals in the 2.5 games I watched of Pacific Northwest, and in general, he was constantly making big-time plays and taking care of the rock. Comfortable playing both attack and midfield, it felt like he was always getting back to the middle of the field for high-percentage shots and converting at a high rate. In one instance, he got lit up and still converted on a fast break, so he’s a tough cookie. He also has an excellent shot from the wing and converted on a handful of catch-and-shoot opportunities when he wasn’t breaking down his man off the dodge.
