Roman Johnson brings size and developmental upside to Western Carolina’s defensive line
Roman Johnson is a 6-foot-3, 260-pound defensive lineman for Western Carolina who profiles as a physical interior presence with clear upside in the trenches[9]. As a high-school recruit, he was listed as a defensive tackle and a hard commit to Western Carolina, signaling the staff saw him as a strong fit for their defensive front[1]. The key question isn’t just stats — it’s whether his size, leverage, and frame translate into consistent disruption against FCS interior run games and pass protection[9].
