Gerrell Johnson is a high-volume, high-contact linebacker who produces in every phase
In the 2024 season, Johnson delivered 74 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, a half-sack and two pass breakups for UMass, following a 2023 season in which he started all 12 games and added two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and an interception.[2] At 6-foot-3 and 225 pounds, he profiles as a durable, every-down LB with the instincts to stay around the ball and the versatility to create splash plays beyond raw tackle volume.[3][2] If your team values steady production, toughness and a defense-first leader, he looks like a strong fit.[2][3]
