veteran Bearcats lineman with real game-time polish
CJ Johnson has been a depth-and-development offensive lineman for Cincinnati, with the most concrete recent roster note showing he appeared in one game in the 2022 season and helped the Bearcats produce 232 rushing yards and 293 passing yards in a 63-10 win over Kennesaw State. His value is the classic OL kind: experience, versatility, and the ability to contribute when called upon without making noise. If you want a steady, lower-maintenance fit who can handle physical football and understand the program, he’s the type coaches trust.
