DJ Johnson Jr. is a steady, ascending ECU linebacker with tackle production and improving disruption
Johnson has become a reliable inside presence for East Carolina, posting **89 career tackles** through the 2025 season, including **60 tackles, 5.0 tackles for loss, and 0.5 sacks in 2025** while starting every game he played that year. He stands out more for consistency, range, and run support than splashy plays, with at least one tackle in 23 of 28 career games and a career-high 10 tackles in a game in 2025. The best fit is a team needing a dependable, assignment-sound linebacker who can stay on the field and clean up the run game.
