Jaelen Johnson brings veteran edge and steady disruption to North Dakota’s DL
In the 2023 season, Jaelen Johnson started every game at defensive end for North Dakota and posted 9 total tackles, 1.0 tackle-for-loss, and 3 quarterback hurries—numbers that don’t scream fireworks, but do show a dependable, assignment-sound veteran who can bother quarterbacks and hold up in the run game. He’s a former 49-start lineman with leadership and durability baked in, plus a civil engineering mindset that fits a grinder’s role. If you want a polished, experienced DL who won’t blink under pressure, he’s your guy.
