RJ Johnson gives Grambling a proven arm with SWAC-level production
In the 2025 season, RJ Johnson III arrived at Grambling after throwing for 2,597 yards, 18 touchdowns, and just 4 interceptions at Florida A&M, then opened 2026 with elite efficiency in limited action, including 391 passing yards, a 168.1 rating, and a 82.5% completion rate through two games. He’s a polished, accurate QB who can also add a little on the ground, and his preseason HBCU Player of the Year watchlist nod says evaluators see real upside. The catch: Grambling has treated the QB spot like a live-wire competition, and a high-ankle sprain has already made availability part of the story, so health and consistency are the big swing factors.
