Michael Johnson Jr. brings freshman size and upside to Jackson State’s front
Michael Johnson Jr. is a 6-foot-1, 240-pound freshman linebacker at Jackson State who already has the frame to play physically and the background to project as a disruptive defender. He was a defensive end/linebacker in high school, earned multiple all-state honors, and arrives with clear toughness and edge; ESPN lists him as active, but there’s no meaningful 2026 stat line or game-log production available yet, so the appeal is more about upside than proven output. If your team wants a young, downhill defender with real developmental juice, he’s a name to watch.
