Justin Johnson brings veteran linebacker toughness to Sam Houston
Justin Johnson is a physical, experienced linebacker who fits the “run through the chest plate” mold—compact at 6-0, 220, with proven production in a prior Sam Houston stint and the kind of straight-ahead tackling profile that coaches love[1]. His biggest differentiators are downhill urgency, reliability in space, and a blue-collar edge that shows up beyond the box score; if your defense wants a tone-setter who plays with contact-first energy, he’s the kind of fit that makes the headset men smile[1][2].
