FAU's Versatile Two-Way Safety with Untapped Upside
Ja'Marquis Johnson, FAU's safety, brings high school pedigree as a two-way star with 120 tackles, 5 INTs, and 3 forced fumbles, transitioning to college defense where he earned early reps in 2022 wins like 43-13 over Charlotte[6][3]. His differentiator is raw athleticism and ball skills from Berrien HS, paired with JC experience at New Mexico Military Institute as a CB[8][7]. Limited recent stats suggest developmental potential without injury flags; his intensity and versatility make him a sneaky special teams ace and depth fit for teams needing gritty, multi-role DBs—worth a camp look if you're building secondary depth.
