Taytum Johnson is a turnover-making Colgate DB with early-ball skills
Johnson’s 2025 sophomore season showed real playmaking upside: he posted 12 tackles, 11 solo stops, an interception, and two pass breakups across 9 games with 2 starts, which points to a DB who can find the ball and hold up in coverage.[2] He also delivered his first Colgate interception in the opener at Syracuse, a useful marker for his instincts and confidence against higher-level competition.[1][2] The current profile is still small-sample, so the appeal is less about volume and more about a competitive, ball-aware defensive back who could fit a team looking for upside in coverage and special-teams value.[2][3]
