UAB WR AJ Johnson: 6'3" Red-Zone Weapon with 662-Yard, 6-TD 2024 Provenance
AJ Johnson is a 6'3", 200-lb senior WR for UAB who immediately differentiates as a elite red-zone threat after leading ETSU in 2024 with 40 receptions, 662 yards, and 6 TDs—including a 75-yard bomb that ignited a 17-point rally[2][5][10]. Though his 2025 UAB debut was quiet (1 rec, 21 yards), coaches report his confidence and intensity are surging under new coach Scott Rials, making him a high-upside fit for teams needing a physical, big-play receiver who can dominate in the paint[5][9]. His 6'3" frame, 87 prospect rating, and proven touchdown production (6 TDs in 2024) signal he's ready to explode in 2026, especially if the offense leverages his size in critical moments[2][7]. Injury history is clean, and his New Orleans grit translates to relentless pursuit of the ball.
