Jaquan Johnson is a safety for the Buffalo Bills of the National Football League. Johnson was a two-way player at Miami Killian High School, participating on both the defensive and offensive sides of the ball as a running back and a defensive back.
He was invited to visit the United States. S. Army All-American Bowl following his senior year of high school, and he finished his high school career with 13 interceptions to his credit. On August 19, 2014, Johnson announced his intention to attend the University of Miami.
This was a change in direction from his prior frontrunner, Florida State, which remained his top choice up until two weeks before the commitment.
Johnson spent his first two years of college as a reserve player because he was held back by upperclassmen.
Johnson was the leader of the Hurricanes in tackles with 96 during his junior season. Manny Diaz, the defensive coordinator for the Hurricanes, referred to him as the “heart and soul” of the Hurricanes’ defense late in the season.
Johnson also created history for the program by becoming the first player in the history of the ACC Defensive Back of the Week accolades to win the award three weeks in a row. He won the award in the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth weeks of the season, respectively. After the conclusion of the campaign, his teammates voted him Most Valuable Player.
