Charlie Johnson garnered Second Team All-America honors from the USILA, third-team recognition from Inside Lacrosse and an honorable mention nod from USA Lacrosse in 2025.
A first-year starter, Johnson lept into the national conversation after posting an ACC-best 32 caused turnovers. The top on-ball defender in Duke's outstanding defensive unit earned his first USILA Team of the Week recognition after holding North Carolina star attackman Owen Duffy to just a goal and an assist while recording five caused turnovers and four ground balls. Johnson also had five caused turnovers at Jacksonville, becoming the first Duke defenseman to do so since Casey Carroll in 2014.
With Johnson leading the charge, the Blue Devil defense held an opponent scoreless for 10-plus minutes 23 times, including keeping North Carolina off the board for a season-long 31 minutes in the ACC Championship semifinal. An All-ACC selection, Johnson's 32 caused turnovers are tied for second in Duke single-season history.
