Before his junior season, Jordon Johnson-Rubell transferred from Fort Worth (Texas) Brewer to football powerhouse program IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. When he was in Texas, Johnson-Rubell was a MaxPreps Freshman All-American. He backed that up with a 2021 season that saw him earn Texas 3-5A-I honors after racking up 60 tackles and six pass breakups. After his junior season at IMG, Johnson-Rubell was named a MaxPreps Junior All-American. He was part of a defense that forced 30 turnovers and gave up just three points a game.
