2024 NFL Draft Profile: Fresno State DB Carlton Johnson

As the Bulldogs prepare for their spring practice sessions, cornerback Carlton Johnson is preparing for a shot at the 2024 NFL Draft. Johnson declared for the draft back in December. “I have dreamed of playing in high school, dreamed of playing in college," Johnson posted to social media at the time. "Now I’m trying to make my lifelong dream come true by trying to play in the NFL.” Johnson was a key component on a defense that forced 23 total turnovers and allowed 24.6 points per game, finishing just below the top of the Mountain West in both categories. Here are the other important things to know about a corner prospect that could be a valuable late selection. Measurements: 6'0" 165 pounds Johnson's football career has not been a straight line, but few in 2023 can realistically make that claim. He was lightly recruited as a zero-star prospect out of Moreno Valley, California, signing with FCS Southern Utah in 2018. Johnson spent two seasons at Southern Utah, one where he took his redshirt after four games.
