Ryan Johnson brings early-career special-teams grit and linebacker upside for The Citadel
In the 2024 season, Ryan Johnson appeared in four games for The Citadel and logged tackles against North Greenville and Mercer, which points to a young linebacker still carving out a role but already showing game-day usefulness.[2] His value is more about physicality, effort, and developmental upside than flashy production, so he fits best with a staff that prizes toughness, special-teams readiness, and player growth. ESPN’s 2026 listing also suggests he remains on the radar as part of the Bulldogs’ linebacker group.[1]
