Avir Johnson is a dynamic athlete with a prototypical size and length of 6-foot-3 and 230 pounds. Johnson’s ability to add weight to his frame will be key to his success on the defensive line, allowing him to play in multiple schemes. With a bright future ahead of him, Avir Johnson’s ability to bend the edge makes him a force to be reckoned with in multiple arenas.
He plays with good initial foot and body quickness, exhibiting good use of hands at the point of attack. Through his junior year, Johnson dominated the line of scrimmage, flashing good lateral quickness in space, which showed an ability to drop into coverage. He demonstrates good play strength with closing speed to disrupt plays in the backfield. We believe he can be effective in both a 3-4 with his hand in the dirt or as a five-technique in a 4-3 defense.
What truly distinguishes Avir Johnson is his exceptional versatility. He has seamlessly transitioned between football and wrestling, two sports requiring different skills and demands. His ability to excel in both disciplines is a testament to his natural athleticism and relentless determination. We project him to make an instant impact as a starter or backup at the FCS or G5 Level.
