BYU’s Evan Johnson: a veteran ballhawk with All-America buzz
In the 2025 season, Evan Johnson emerged as one of the Big 12’s top cover corners, finishing with 47 tackles, 5 interceptions, and 8 pass breakups for BYU, then entering 2026 as a second-team preseason All-America pick and a top-5 returning CB nationally. He’s a fit if you want a proven, experienced playmaker with real ball skills, competitive swagger, and the kind of “been there, done that” confidence that elevates a secondary. The nickname “Schmev” may be fun, but the production is the serious part.
