## Resource

Brauntae Johnson is emerging as Notre Dame’s defensive cornerstone at safety, already showing elite flashes with 48 tackles and 4 interceptions as a redshirt freshman — including a pick-six and blocked punt TD — despite missing the season’s final games. Now healthy and entering his second year in the system, Johnson’s focus is on becoming a more complete defender while staying consistent. With national expectations mounting — some calling him the top returning safety in 2026 — his breakout season could cement his legacy as one of college football’s most electrifying safeties.
