Film room: D.J. Johnson

Miami 2017 defensive end commitment D.J. Johnson is a name that fans have come to learn very quickly. A top-10 ranked player at his position, Johnson flashes all of the physical tools on tape to blossom into a star at Miami -- especially if the progression we've seen in the Canes' defensive line holds true.

I've gone through Johnson's HUDL page and watched his highlights from games this season, his senior year. This should give you a good glimpse of his ability on the field. Scroll over the clip to get a description of the play.

Elite.


Period.

It's crazy how a kid all the way from Sac-town California loves Miami even more than some kids in our own backyard...

I'm glad he's on board, he'll be an Elite first team All-ACC Defensive lineman from the day he sets foot on campus... Imo, easily the 2nd best player in #Squad17 behind Donaldson.

Do you see a move inside?

I don't think that's even an issue. Kid has that mean streak we've been looking for. He simply doesn't give a ****. Glad he's coming.

No. He is supposedly 240. He will end up at about 265-270.
