Tommy Johl brings upside as a young Illinois State offensive lineman
Tommy Johl is a 6-foot-3, 270-pound offensive lineman from Arlington Heights, Illinois, who arrived at Illinois State as part of the 2024 class and redshirted that season, so he’s still in the development pipeline rather than a finished product[3][4][8]. The appeal is straightforward: size, local pedigree, and a frame that suggests room to grow into a tougher, more reliable trench piece for the Redbirds[4][8]. He looks like a fit for a staff willing to coach up a young lineman with long-term upside, but he’s more projection than proven production right now[3][4].
