Darius Johnson Jr. brings veteran CB experience and transfer-portal upside to Georgia State
A fifth-year cornerback from Watkinsville, Georgia, Darius Johnson Jr. arrived at Georgia State after transferring from Gardner-Webb and is listed as a 5'10", 180-pound senior/senior-class defensive back, giving the Panthers an experienced, physical option on the back end. He stands out more for proven versatility and maturity than flash: recent reports show he played at Syracuse in 2025, and he posted 6 catches for 48 yards there, suggesting a multi-phase athlete with game-day utility and football IQ. If you want a seasoned, competitive defender who can help stabilize a secondary, he fits the bill.
