Taryn Johnson brings rim protection, boards, and a high-floor post presence for Fairfield
Taryn Johnson enters the 2026 season as Fairfield’s leading returning rebounder and shot blocker, with 390 career points, 319 rebounds, and 75 blocks on her résumé. Her value is the little-bad-news-for-opponents package: she rebounds, protects the paint, and has already shown she can stay active on both ends, including at least one rebound in every game noted by the program. The fit question is simple—if a team wants a physical forward who impacts possessions without needing a huge usage rate, she checks a lot of boxes.
