ShuMond Johnson brings rare size and upside to SIU’s interior
In the 2026 season, ShuMond Johnson is an intriguing Southern Illinois transfer defensive tackle because he already owns eye-popping college-ready size at 6-foot-5, 310 pounds, and SIU’s staff clearly views him as a developmental interior piece with long-term upside. His resume is still light—he played only three total snaps at Troy across 2024 and 2025—but that also means there’s plenty of runway for growth, and preview coverage singled him out as a young player with “a ton of potential.” If you want a massive, high-ceiling lineman who could become a disruptive force, he’s worth the watch.
