Johnson put together a memorable sophomore campaign for Northeast, which lost a tough five-setter in the postseason but returns a lot of production to grow from the experience in the fall. She led the team in assists, ranking second in blocks, third in kills and fourth in digs. Johnson flashed that broad base of skills when I watched her competing at the 2026 Impact Invite in Ankeny. Her Platform 16 Adidas team took fourth in the 16U division, losing a couple of close matches in the Gold Bracket. Johnson was working through six rotations as an outside hitter. She looked especially comfortable and effective ending points from the opposite pin, where her long arms and jumping ability also contribute to an intimidating block. Johnson is a good athlete with quick actions. Those traits along with smooth lateral movements help her hold up well in the back row.
