Demir Johnson is a long, developing Howard edge presence with upside
Demir Johnson, a 6-foot-6, 230-pound defensive lineman at Howard, stands out for his length and frame, which give him clear developmental upside as a pass-rush and edge-setting prospect. Howard’s roster lists him as a redshirt sophomore for 2026, and the program’s roster and recruiting history show he has been on the Bison’s radar since committing in 2024. He appears to be a projectable fit for a team valuing size, reach, and long-term development over immediate box-score production, though public stat production is limited in the available sources.
