Joshua Johnson brings captain-level edge to Dartmouth’s defensive line
In the 2026 season, Dartmouth lists Joshua Johnson as a senior defensive end at 6-2, 265, and he has been named a team captain after appearing in 21 games and posting 25 total tackles over the last two seasons[7][12]. He’s valued less for gaudy box-score numbers and more for steady run support, quarterback pressure, and leadership—he even noted the D-line’s focus on making passers uncomfortable after the Harvard game[8][12]. If a team wants a physical, mature edge defender with Ivy League poise and a “do the dirty work” profile, he’s the kind of glue guy coaches love.
