C.J. Johnson brings SEC-tested linebacker toughness to Ole Miss
In the 2015 season, C.J. Johnson was a productive Mike linebacker for Ole Miss, posting 43 tackles, 3.0 tackles for loss, 2.0 sacks, two interceptions, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery[1][2]. His value goes beyond the box score: he was part of a Rebels defense that ranked among the SEC’s best in tackles for loss, interceptions, and takeaways, which speaks to his instinctive, disruptive style[1][2]. If you want a defender who plays with edge, creates extra possessions, and fits a physical SEC identity, Johnson checks the right boxes[1][2].
