Temple’s speed piece with special-teams grit and upside
Kian Johnson enters 2026 as a redshirt sophomore wideout for Temple, but his calling card is versatility: he has contributed on offense and as a core special-teams player, and Temple’s staff has praised his depth and effort. In the 2025 season, he missed the remainder of the year after an injury following the Georgia Tech game, so availability is the first box to watch. At 5-8, he’s not the big-bodied target, but he brings quickness, toughness, and return-value style hustle that can fit a creative, pace-friendly offense.
