Taken with pick two in the 2025 Draft, Johnson is a tall, athletic utility with impressive footy smarts and speed to burn. Johnson shifted from a key forward to half-back/wing role for the Northern Knights ahead of the 2025 Talent League season, a move that ultimately saw her catapult herself into top-10 contention ahead of last year’s draft. Johnson endured a stellar 2025 season at under 18 level, finishing the Talent League season averaging 23.8 disposals, 6.2 marks, 5.0 tackles, 3.4 inside 50s, and 3.8 rebound 50s, while kicking seven goals across 12 matches. She also starred for Vic Metro to nab a National Draft Combine invite where her athleticism was on full display, finishing inside the top 10 for agility, 20m sprint and running vertical jump. Johnson will be hoping she can make a smooth transition to the elite level while wearing orange and charcoal in 2026.
