FSU is standing out to blue-chip cornerback in Alabama
2028 four-star cornerback Kylen Johnson has named Florida State as one of the standout schools in his recruitment.
Four-star cornerback prospect Kylen Johnson has seen a surge in recruitment interest, particularly from the Florida State Seminoles. The 5-foot-10, 165-pound Johnson has gathered nearly 20 offers from various programs, but FSU has emerged as a standout destination among the Alabama Crimson Tide, Clemson Tigers, Indiana Hoosiers, and Louisville Cardinals.
Johnson highlighted Coach Blue Adams, the Seminoles' cornerbacks coach, as a key reason for his interest. Johnson, currently ranked No. 179 nationally and No. 18 at cornerback, is also the No. 9 prospect in Alabama. He is primarily classified as a cornerback but has demonstrated versatility as an all-around athlete during his high school career.
As a sophomore, he led Coosa Christian High School to a 2A state title, contributing with 1,502 rushing yards, 25 touchdowns, and 45 receptions for 727 yards. Defensively, he recorded 85 tackles, 6 tackles for loss, 9 interceptions, and 22 pass breakups. Johnson will continue his high school career at Plainview High School in Rainsville, Alabama, and the Seminoles are eager to have him visit the campus for a game visit this season.
