Big frame, still climbing Minnesota’s tight end ladder
In 2025, Julian Johnson was a redshirt sophomore at Minnesota with a 6-foot-6, 250-pound frame and one catch for 5 yards in two appearances, so the stat line is tiny but the upside is obvious[1][2]. He looks like a classic developmental tight end: long, physical, and built to create matchup problems, but still fighting for a bigger role in a deep room[1][10]. If your team wants immediate production, he’s not that yet; if you want a high-ceiling TE with room to grow, he’s the kind of player worth tracking[1][2].
