Jay'Shaun Johnson brings game-breaking return juice to Grambling
In the 2025 season, Jay'Shaun Johnson was a legit all-purpose spark for Grambling State: he led the team in kick returns with 10 for 290 yards and a touchdown, including a 95-yard house call against Texas Southern, while also contributing 11 tackles and a fumble recovery as a DB. He was named to the 2026 preseason All-SWAC second team as a return specialist, which tells you coaches and evaluators see him as more than just a defensive back—he’s a field-flipping weapon with quick-twitch explosiveness and momentum-changing special-teams value.
