Expert Analysis
Ted Sperides | Prep Lacrosse Scout
I decided to personally give Johnson the nickname “The Big Easy” for his methodical, smooth, and effective approach to the game. There are times when it looks like he isn’t even going full speed and he will run right past someone on the dodge or catch someone in the open field. A pure athlete who doubles as a WR/CB on the gridiron, Johnson puts those football skills on display on the lacrosse field as well. He can make a quick move to gain separation and get his hands free for a shot, but can also pull his man up top and speed dodge right past him. He is deceptively strong and physical, knocking players off their feet when he puts a body on them in the open field. Johnson might be the most underrated midfielder in the state, though part of that is due to being on a team with so many offensive superstars and the attention being spread around. He’s a hard-working player who plays within the system and doesn’t have an overly flashy game, serving as a workhorse who gets the job done every game. Johnson had 45 goals and 14 assists last year for the state champion Lakeville North Panthers and should see an increase in production with a few of their guys graduating in 2023.
