Niles Johnson brings size and interior grind to NC A&T’s defensive front
Niles Johnson is a 6-foot-2, 275-pound junior defensive lineman for North Carolina A&T who profiles as a sturdy interior presence rather than a flashy stat-sheet wrecking ball.[2][3] In the 2025 season, he recorded 3 total tackles, including 2 solo stops and 1 assist, so the box score is light, but his value is more about holding ground, eating blocks, and giving the Aggies a physical rotation piece up front.[3] If a team wants a tough, developmental DL with size and experience, he’s worth a look; if it wants immediate pass-rush fireworks, this is not that guy.[2][3]
