Young Buckeye LB with early depth-chart upside and sideline-to-sideline range
Trey Johnson is a former high-end recruit whose calling card is range, athletic pursuit, and early-playability traits that fit Ohio State’s linebacker pipeline well; recruiting coverage described him as a sideline-to-sideline defender with a chance to contribute quickly, and his profile still reflects that speed-and-fit appeal. In a 2026 Buckeye depth-chart projection, Ohio State’s linebacker room is crowded, which means Johnson’s value hinges on how fast he translates his physical tools into dependable snaps. If your team wants length, movement, and developmental upside at LB, he’s worth the attention.
