E.J. Johnson brings Purdue a rangy, safety-first defensive piece with upside in coverage

Johnson is a **6-1, 175-pound safety** with a frame that fits modern coverage demands, and Purdue-listed roster data from 2026 identifies him at the position while 247Sports lists him as a veteran senior prospect with recruiting pedigree. He profiles as a fit for teams that value length, range, and special-teams versatility over pure box thump, but public sources here provide limited current production data, so the main appeal is his traits and positional flexibility rather than a stat-sheet flash.
