Kentucky’s old-school wrecking ball at defensive tackle
In the 2015 season, Cory Johnson turned into a true game-wrecker for Kentucky: 67 tackles, 8 tackles for loss, 2 sacks, an interception, a forced fumble, and even a 77-yard fumble return touchdown. He was a four-star JUCO transfer and top-50 junior-college recruit who brought rare interior explosiveness, heavy hands, and unusual athleticism for a 300-pound DT. The big sell? He can collapse a pocket, chase down plays, and flip field position in a hurry—basically, chaos in shoulder pads. His profile screams high-motor, high-upside run-stuffer with playmaking juice.
