2025 wide receiver prospect includes Blue Devils in his top three

Qeanu Johnson, a three-star wideout from Connecticut, released his top three schools on Wednesday with the Blue Devils still in the running.

Qeanu Johnson, a three-star wide receiver prospect from Connecticut, released the final three schools in his recruiting race on Wednesday.

His home school, the Huskies, remain in the race, but so do the Blue Devils and the Penn State Nittany Lions.

Johnson plays for Hamden Hall Country Day High School, and he led the team with 584 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns in 2023. He even picked up 164 rushing yards on just 11 attempts on the ground, adding three scores as a rushing threat.

He’s also played on the defensive side of the ball with seven total tackles and a 99-yard pick-six.

“(He has) a safety frame but a receiver skill set and uses his size and strength to create separation,” wrote 247Sports National Recruiting Analyst Greg Biggins. “He’s not a burner but runs well enough and shows good initial quickness off the line. He catches the ball cleanly and does a nice job on 50-50 balls. ”

The national recruiting website currently has Johnson as the 90th-ranked athlete in the 2025 recruiting class.

The Blue Devils already have three wide receiver commitments for the 2025 class, notably from three-star talents Gerritt Kemp and Jaivon Solomon. Kavon Simmons, a quarterback from Wake Forest High School, will also change positions to play wideout in Durham.
