Evan Johnson brings playmaking value, but he’s a BYU CB—not an OL
Evan Johnson is listed by reliable football databases as a **BYU cornerback**, not an offensive lineman, and his value comes from versatility and ball production rather than traditional box-score volume. In the 2025 season, he logged **13 games**, with **2 punt returns** and **25 interception-return yards on 2 picks**, showing a defender who can create hidden yards and impact field position.[2][1] EA Sports also rates him an **88 overall** in College Football 26, which suggests a high-level player with strong all-around ability.[3] If you want a physical, playmaking defensive back who can contribute on returns, he’s a fit; if you need an OL, this is the wrong Evan Johnson.[2][3]
