Chantiya Johnson is a powerful and athletic middle hitter for the Fayetteville State Broncos, bringing size, experience, and versatility to the front line. Originally from Powder Springs, Georgia, Chantiya graduated from Rome High School in 2022, where she competed in both volleyball and track and earned her team’s Coach’s Award for leadership and performance.

Now a senior at Fayetteville State University, she is majoring in Middle Grades Education and continues to be a strong presence on the court. Prior to joining FSU, Chantiya played at the College of Coastal Georgia and Emmanuel University, where she contributed to two conference championship teams.

Off the court, Chantiya enjoys hiking and creative, artsy activities. She credits her mother, Tyrisa Burdine, as the most influential person in her life for her strength and support. Her favorite sports memories include team dinners with her roommates—Chy, Symone, and Ami—which reflect the close-knit bond she shares with her teammates.

She chose FSU for its welcoming community and the sense of belonging she felt from the start, making it the perfect fit for her academic and athletic journey.
