Eason attempted 52 passes, and only THREE of those attempts were directed at Jaylon’s receiver. Eason was 0/3 on those attempts, and Jaylon turned one into a pick-six. That is pure unadulterated dominance. When a QB attempts that many passes and completely avoids a cornerback, that’s a product of him watching film and realizing that Jaylon’s a dude he didn’t wanna mess with. This has been the theme of basically every game Johnson has played since he’s been at Utah.
Having a shut-down corner like Jaylon Johnson is extremely valuable and was a major recruiting win for Utah. Looking at his 247 profile, I hadn’t realized just how highly rated of a 4 star recruit he was. Using 247’s rating system, Jaylon was rated .9619, which isn’t far off of being labeled 5 star. He had offers from the likes of Florida, Georgia, Oklahoma, Michigan, and the “crystal ball projections” had him 100% going to USC.
Jaylon Johnson is a stud, and we’re lucky to have him.
Yep,
This is what happens when Utah recruits and gets top talent into the program.
Will be a 1st round pick
woah… that’s pretty amazing. I don’t know why it still floors me when I see his numbers. He does things like this consistently. It’s just amazing.
Consider the fact that he has these unbelievable stats while he was routinely guarding the top WR on the other side. Amazing
