Derrell Johnson II brings size, power, and guard flexibility to Wake Forest’s interior line
Johnson is a 6-foot-3, 306-pound redshirt senior at Wake Forest who has moved from a lightly used reserve to a player with real roster value, appearing in seven games in 2025 after sitting out 2024 and logging only six snaps in 2023. Wake Forest lists him as an offensive lineman, and EA Sports College Football 26 gives him a 70 overall with standout strength (85), awareness (84), and pass-blocking skill, which lines up with a profile built on steady interior toughness rather than flash. He looks like a depth-and-development fit for teams that want a physical, dependable guard with upside in a pro-style or power run scheme.[5][6]
