Big-bodied Lindenwood DB trending up after a breakout freshman push
In the 2025 season, Carter Johnson flashed real upside for Lindenwood, appearing in 11 games and finishing with 14 tackles, including a four-tackle game and his first career interception against SEMO, which helped earn him OVC-Big South Freshman of the Week honors. At 6-foot-5 and 215 pounds, he brings rare size for a defensive back, giving him a length-and-physicality profile that can change throwing windows fast. The quick take: he looks like a high-upside developmental fit if your team wants a long, aggressive DB with growth runway.
