C.J. Johnson brings a high-upside, run-supporting TE profile to St. Thomas
Johnson is listed by St. Thomas as a sophomore tight end, and his profile points to a versatile athlete with size (6'1”, 232) and a football background that includes strong high-school production in Texas, where he led Paetow with 68 tackles as a senior. That defensive pedigree suggests toughness, effort, and physicality—traits that translate well to special teams and in-line tight end work. The main appeal is upside: he looks like a player who can add value through grit, blocking, and development rather than immediate box-score production, making him a fit for teams that prize competitiveness and projection.
