Young Alabama linebacker with early special-teams value and upside
Duke Johnson II is a **freshman linebacker** for Alabama who has already carved out a role on **special teams**, appearing in nine games and totaling three tackles in his rookie season, which signals trust from the staff and a willingness to do the unglamorous work [6][8]. At 6-1, 225 pounds, he brings a compact, physical frame and is still early in his development, so the appeal is more about **trajectory, effort, and role growth** than box-score production right now [8][4].
