Lavon Johnson offers Texas a sturdy, high-motor interior presence
Lavon Johnson is a **6'2", 76-rated** defensive tackle on Texas’s roster who brings proven rotational experience and flashes of disruptive play rather than eye-popping production. In his two seasons at Maryland, he logged **19 tackles and 1.5 sacks** across 18 games, and Texas notes a career-high **six tackles** against Iowa, a sign he can hold up against physical opponents. He fits as a depth-add with upside: compact, experienced, and active enough to help a defensive front that values effort, toughness, and gap discipline.
