Early enrollee

Notable: Johnson totaled nearly 50 catches (49) for 862 yards with six scores as a senior. He caught 49 passes for 875 yards with eight touchdowns as a junior. Other notable offers before his Clemson commitment included LSU, Michigan, Ole Miss, Tennessee, TCU, Texas A&M, USC and Baylor among more FBS programs.

Tyler Grisham on Johnson: "I'm pumped about Noble. Great kid, ton of energy...He's a big body guy. Close to 6-3, maybe 6-2 200, but man he moves really well. So he's versatile..."

Quotable: “Arguably the strongest set of hands in the entire country at the wide receiver position. Dense and rocked up build especially in his lowers. Stands in just a hair under 6-foot-2, 205 pounds with a 6-foot-4.5 wingspan. Has juice and twitch off the line of scrimmage. Lacks ideal top-end speed, struggles to pull away from defenders. Ran a solid electronically-timed 4.63 40-yard dash as well as a 6.76 3-cone drill during the spring camp circuit prior to his junior season. Shows his vertical and ability to pluck the football on 50-50 balls. Jumped a 30-inch vertical and a 9-foot-8 broad jump during the same event…High floor immediate role player once he steps on campus with mid-late round NFL upside.” - On3 scouting summary of Johnson (source).

Depth chart fit: Johnson hits the Clemson roster in an area where the Tigers are in need of some more playmakers, and his highlight reels show he can provide just that.
