The Recruits Labeled ATH

With all of the cornerback needs discussion happening, are these guys going to be WRs? Or is it just truly unknown as to what position or side of the ball they will play. Thanks

Ju'juan Johnson
Joel Rogers
Tylenol Singleton

Usually WRs, DBs, and return specialist unless they are on the bigger side and can play LB or DE. In LSU's case most likely DBs if they are capable because that is a major position of need.

Johnson and Rogers both play on offense in high school which is pretty common

Johnson will either be a CB, NB or S and a return specialist and should see the field early if it's CB

Rogers will be a S in college most likely

Singleton will likely play LB but needs to add some weight for the rigors of sec play

I went to 247 and Johnson was listed as a Safety and Singleton as a LB.

I think all the 2024 ATHs we have are natural S or WR except Singleton (who is a LB/large WR/TE). Some may end up getting a look at corner and/or return because of need.

(ETA: Johnson is the one guy that might get a strong look at corner, but it is not his natural position, IMHO. Of course, Corey Webster was a "natural" WR, so what do I know?)

Johnson has occasionally played corner in a few bigger games for LCA. I think most projections are he will be a CB at LSU. But he will have a learning curve.

My understanding is he has looked exceptional at camps, particularly considering he does not play the position typically in HS. I'd appreciate it if one of the guys on here who keeps up with the camp action could correct me where I may be wrong on that.

Johnson has those hips that are on a swivel. He can go from backpedaling to running full speed in the opposite direction in just a few steps.

It's the one quality that all elite boundary corners possess. He explodes out of his break and has excellent closing speed that will help both jump routes the QB is late on and recover if he tries to jam but doesnt move the receiver off his route.

I think Johnson can be really special at corner. He plays QB in HS, which quite a few converts have said that really helps a DB, by knowing how a QB processes information and utilizing that from the DB position.

So yeah, I'm super high on Johnson as a boundary corner.
