Class of 2026 CB Sean Johnson believes Kentucky offer was a ‘blessing’

Kentucky continues to offer players in the Class of 2026, and that is what they did on Wednesday, May 8, as Brad White offered cornerback Sean Johnson.

Johnson is from Severn, MD, and he comes in at 6-foot-1 and weighs 175 pounds, according to 247Sports. The corner recently spoke to A Sea of Blue after he got offered and what that means to him.

“Getting an offer from Kentucky is a blessing honestly, it doesn’t get better than the SEC,” Johnson says. “Coach (Brad) White the defensive coordinator offered me and we talked about my film and how Kentucky is a top 25 team and that he would like to get me down there for a visit.

After receiving the offer from Kentucky, he hopes he can continue to grow a relationship with the coaching staff, especially White and defensive backs coach Chris Collins.

“I would love to build a relationship with the whole coaching staff, especially with coach Collins and coach White,” Johnson tells A Sea of Blue.

Johnson could certainly see himself playing in the blue and white.

“I could most definitely see myself playing for Kentucky, based off that they are in the SEC and they are a top 25 team and most importantly based off how many defensive backs they have got to the league,” Johnson says.

Speaking of the success Kentucky has had on the defensive side, the program has been able to get many different defensive backs drafted in the NFL recently such as Lonnie Johnson Jr., Kelvin Joseph, Brandin Echols, Carrington Valentine, and others.

Johnson has taken notice of that success.

“I look at Kentucky’s former defensive backs and manifest that I could be one of them one day, I like that they know what they are doing with the cornerbacks cause that’s my position and hopefully one day my dream is to get to the NFL,” Johnson says.

It is still early on in his recruiting process, but he tells A Sea of Blue that he wants to take a visit to Kentucky. He has already visited Maryland, Penn State, Virginia, NC State, and West Virginia.
