Chris Johnson brings veteran stability and downhill physicality to the Jackrabbits' linebacker room
A third-season starting middle linebacker at South Dakota State, Chris Johnson is a 6-foot-2, 230-pound defender with proven experience, steady production, and the kind of inside-run toughness that can anchor a defense[1][3]. He stands out more for reliability, leadership, and field command than flash, making him a strong fit for teams that value a smart, physical, assignment-sound linebacker who can keep the defense organized and play through contact.
