Quentin Johnston (born September 6, 2001) is an American football wide receiver for the Los Angeles Chargers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at TCU and was selected by the Chargers in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft.
Johnston grew up in Temple, Texas, and attended Temple High School.[1] He was rated a four-star recruit and initially committed to play college football at Texas.[2] Johnston later flipped his commitment to TCU, citing the dismissal of Texas wide receivers coach Drew Mehringer as the reason.[3] [4]
Johnston became a starter at TCU as a true freshman, catching 22 passes for a team-high 487 yards and two touchdowns.[5] His 22.1 average yards per catch was the highest by a true freshman in the history of the Big 12 Conference.[6] Johnston was named first team All-Big 12 as a sophomore after catching 33 passes and leading TCU with 612 receiving yards and six touchdown receptions.[7] On January 16, 2023, Johnston announced that he would forgo his senior season and enter the 2023 NFL draft.[8] [9]
Johnston was selected by the Los Angeles Chargers with the 21st overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft.[10] He recorded his first career touchdown on a 1-yard reception from Justin Herbert in a Week 10, 38–41 loss against the Detroit Lions.[11] His second came on a 6-yard reception from backup quarterback Easton Stick in a Week 15, 21–63 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.[12] He finished his rookie season with 38 receptions for 431 yards and two touchdowns in 17 games and ten starts.[13]
