Alcorn State LB Zavier Johnson brings freshman-sized upside with linebacker toughness
Zavier Johnson is a 6-0, 225-pound freshman linebacker at Alcorn State, and the pitch here is clear: compact frame, physical build, and a profile that suggests he’s built to hit and hold up in the box[1]. Publicly available team pages currently list him on the 2026 roster, but do not show 2026 game stats yet, so the read is more about projection than production right now[1][3]. If you want a young defender who fits a hard-nosed, contact-first style and can develop into a steady run defender, he’s worth a look; if you need proven college production today, the résumé is still in the early chapters[1][7].
