Albany State safety Elijah Johnson brings a sturdy, ascending presence to the Golden Rams back end
In the 2026 season, Elijah Johnson is listed as a sophomore safety at Albany State, standing 5-foot-11 and 170 pounds, after arriving from Osborne High School in Marietta, Georgia[1][2]. He looks like a fit for a defense that values reliability and range: a young DB with room to grow, already in the program and clearly part of the plan in the secondary[2]. The best reason to care? He’s the kind of under-the-radar safety who can develop into a tone-setting defender if his processing speed and physicality continue to climb.
