Utah cornerback Jaylon Johnson has declared for the 2020 NFL draft.
Johnson announced his decision through Twitter.
Johnson is a lengthy, athletic cornerback that had seven takeaways in three seasons as a Ute. One of the best players in the Pac-12 on a weekly basis, Johnson put the clamps on several big name receivers this year.
“These past three years have been some of the best of my life,” Johnson said in his declaration statement. “To each person here that played a part in making me the player and person that I am today: thank you. You mean more to me than I can express.”
His decision comes as no surprise, as he has been seen by many as one of the best cornerbacks in all of college football over the past two seasons.
Johnson’s aggressive nature in man coverage should help him get his name called fairly early come April.
