Samuel Johnson brings size, discipline, and two-way toughness to William & Mary’s defensive line
Johnson profiles as a high-effort edge defender with a strong football résumé from high school, where he was a Second Team All-Region 7A middle linebacker and a multi-sport athlete at Providence Christian Academy. Listed at 6-1, 230 as a redshirt sophomore at Georgia before his William & Mary stint, he brings compact strength, versatility, and the kind of motor coaches usually trust in run defense and special packages. The biggest selling point is his physicality and competitiveness; the main question is how much his game translates to a full-time DE role at the college level.
