D.J. Johnson brings proven pass-rush juice and disruptive length to New Hampshire’s edge
D.J. Johnson profiles as a high-motor defensive end with production that suggests real edge value: at Wake Forest in 2025, he played in all 13 games and posted 42 tackles, 2.5 sacks, 4.5 tackles for loss, two quarterback hurries, and a forced fumble. His earlier collegiate track record includes a bigger breakout season, with 68 tackles, seven sacks, 19.5 tackles for loss, and a defensive touchdown, pointing to a player who can win both with burst and backfield disruption. If your team needs an energetic, assignment-sound edge defender who has already shown playmaking upside, he’s a fit.
