Florida Gators: Kylan Johnson Signee Profile

Kylan Johnson

School: Skyline High School  

Hometown: Dallas, Texas

Height: 6-3

Weight: 202

Position: Safety

Rivals Ranking: 3 star

Recruited by: Randy Shannon

Notable: Johnson wasn’t on the board until linebackers coach Randy Shannon joined the staff and then Johnson was quickly put on. Johnson was a quarterback/safety in high school and threw for 36 touchdowns while also rushing for 10 touchdowns. Look for Johnson to play safety or possibly even slide down to outside linebacker college.

Quotable: Florida is a beautiful place and I have a lot of trust in Coach Shannon so that’s why I’m signing with Florida,” Johnson said.
