Bowling Green’s young safety with upside and special-teams grit
Jahai Johnson is a 6-foot-1, 200-pound safety for Bowling Green who appeared in three games as a 2025 freshman after enrolling early, a good sign for his development curve[3]. He’s still early in the climb, but his size, defensive backfield flexibility, and early exposure suggest a player with room to grow into a steady rotational piece if he sharpens consistency and coverage polish[2][3]. On the depth chart, he’s listed at free safety for 2026, which makes him a name to watch for a breakout role in a secondary that needs reliable, physical play[11][12].
