TJ Johnson brings size and red-zone upside to Southern Miss’s tight end room
In the 2025 season, TJ Johnson opened his Southern Miss tenure with a quick impact score, flashing a 6-foot-4, 230-pound frame that gives him real red-zone utility and matchup flexibility at tight end. He transferred in after beginning his career at West Virginia, where he worked his way from wide receiver into the TE role, and that background hints at a versatile pass-game skill set. For a team seeking a developmental tight end with athletic upside, toughness, and a fresh-start profile, Johnson is an intriguing fit.
