Utah Utes’ Kenan Johnson

Hailing from Minneola, Florida, Johnson is a 6’0, 178-pound cornerback out of Lake Minneola High School. He had 12 interceptions during his junior and senior prep seasons, including two pick-sixes as a senior.

After high school, Johnson attended Georgia Tech (2019-23), playing 45 games and making 11 starts. The redshirt senior started eight games for the Yellow Jackets in 2023, finishing with 29 tackles, two forced fumbles, four passes defended, and an INT.

Johnson tallied 61 tackles, eight passes defended, and one INT as a Yellow Jacket. He is credited with one tackle for a loss and forced three fumbles for Georgia Tech.

Johnson earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration while at Georgia Tech. His brother, Kenyon, was a wide receiver at UCF (2017-18).
