Texas DL commit James Johnson brings disruptive burst and top-tier recruiting pedigree
James Johnson is a **four-star** defensive lineman for Texas who arrives with national recognition as one of the better DL prospects in his class, ranked by Rivals as the No. 8 defensive line recruit and No. 87 overall nationally. At **6-3, 274**, he fits the modern interior/outside hybrid mold: enough size to anchor, enough juice to threaten gaps, and the recruiting profile to suggest immediate Power Four upside. For a Longhorns front looking for a high-motor, impact body with room to grow, he looks like a strong fit.
