Hayden Johnson is turning into Lehigh’s dual-threat engine
In the 2025 season, Hayden Johnson completed 175 of 281 passes for 2,510 yards, 18 touchdowns and 6 interceptions while adding 451 rushing yards and 4 scores, and his 89.4 PFF grade ranked among the better returning FCS quarterbacks for 2026[1][3][9]. He’s a clean, efficient mover with real playmaking juice, evidenced by a 62.3% completion rate and 5.9 yards per carry in 2025, plus a career-high 271-yard, 2-touchdown outing in Lehigh’s 2026 opener. If you want a quarterback who can win with rhythm, accuracy and enough legs to stress defenses, Johnson is a strong fit[1][9][14].
