Broderick Johnson is a long, rising SFA edge presence with room to grow
Broderick Johnson enters the 2026 season as a 6-foot-3, 250-pound defensive lineman for Stephen F. Austin, bringing size, length, and a developing frame that fits the modern front. In the 2023 season, as a true freshman/redshirt freshman, he played in two games and recorded one tackle, which is a tiny sample but hints at a player still carving out his role. The appeal here is upside: he has the build to hold up physically and the runway to become a more disruptive interior/edge contributor. If you want a developmental DL with clear long-term projection, he’s a name worth tracking.
