Antonio Johnson brings Baylor hometown grit and veteran linebacker reliability
Antonio Johnson is a Waco-born, Baylor-made linebacker who was an All-Big 12 defender and a four-year letterman, starting his final 27 straight games and piling up 35 career starts in 48 games. That kind of durability is gold for a defense: he brings steady production, local pride, and the look of a player who understands leverage, assignment discipline, and the grind. If you want a tough, proven, no-drama linebacker who can anchor a unit and set the tone, Johnson is absolutely worth caring about.
