Shafer Johnson brings steady depth and disruptive flashes to Central Michigan’s defensive line
Shafer Johnson is a rotational defensive lineman for Central Michigan whose value comes from consistency, not splash: ESPN lists 24 solo tackles and 1 forced fumble in his career, and CMU’s roster notes he has played in every game in multiple seasons, including 13 appearances in 2023 and 12 in 2022. That kind of availability and reliability makes him a useful fit for teams needing a dependable interior presence who can stay on the field, hold his ground, and contribute without needing the spotlight.
