Antonio Johnson brings rare length, ball skills, and upside to BYU’s secondary
Antonio Johnson, a 2026 BYU safety from Fort Worth’s Arlington Heights High, is a high-upside addition with prototype size for the position at 6-foot-4 and a multi-sport background that shows up in his ball skills and competitiveness. In his 2025 senior season, he recorded 47 tackles and seven interceptions, plus production as a receiver, which is a strong clue that he tracks the ball well and can flip momentum. BYU’s staff viewed him as a fit for Jay Hill’s defense, and his rangy, under-the-radar profile makes him appealing if a team wants length, versatility, and instinctive play over pure hype.
