Jason Johnson brings linebacker experience and pro-level pedigree to VMI
Jason Johnson is a physical, experienced linebacker whose biggest value is his proven college-to-pro trajectory: after playing at Eastern Illinois and UCF, he signed with the Dallas Cowboys as an undrafted free agent in 2024, which suggests he has traits evaluators trust even if he is not a headline star.[1][2] For VMI, that kind of background points to a defender with maturity, scheme awareness, and the competitive edge that comes from surviving a pro camp, making him a useful fit if you want a steady, assignment-sound LB rather than just a stat-chaser.[1][2]
