The Fairdale Bulldogs are among the better 5As yearly competing in KHSAA football around Louisville’s “Derby City.” Players and athletes like Rakale Johnson are a large reason why. Johnson is a 6’2,” 210-pounder who can play receiver, TE, RB, and OLB as well as contribute in a meaningful way to the special teams units. This kid has so much utility that he is also a 7.3-pts/7.3-rebounds a game guy in basketball. There are guys who can just do about anything you ask of them and Johnson certainly numbers among their ranks. Enjoy this look at a premier athlete/football player in the KHSAA entering the ’26 season, his senior campaign.
