Larry Johnson III brings SEC size, swing-tackle upside, and real 2026 breakout potential
In the 2025 season, Larry Johnson III started 8 of 9 games for Colorado before an injury ended his year early, and he enters 2026 as a 6-foot-7, 350-pound mauler with SEC experience from Tennessee and a big frame that already translates on the edge.[1][6][13] He’s appealing because he flashes pass-protection consistency, handles the run game with power, and has the kind of intensity and versatility coaches love at tackle—especially if he keeps sharpening his right-side transition and stays healthy.[5][8][13]
