Jermaine Johnson

Tall, long edge rusher. Still has some room to add size once he gets in a Power 5 strength program. Tested as a good athlete in high school before heading to junior college. Plays both standing up and in a three-point stance at Independence. Shows quickness off the edge with a high-level first step. Capable of shooting gaps inside and winning with speed on the outside. Can convert speed to power with his bull rush. Flashes his athleticism and closing speed in pursuit. Has good hands with the ability to disengage from offensive linemen. Will need to keep developing and fine-tuning his pass rush technique while getting stronger at the next level. Projects as an instant contributor and likely starter at the Power 5 level with the ability to develop into a early to mid round NFL Draft pick.
