Anybody who has followed along with me knows how excited I am about Monyah Johnson Monyah Johnson 6'2" | 270 lbs | DL Troup County | 2027 State GA . On a national level, he isn’t getting much buzz, but he deserves some recognition locally. He is a stout, true IDL prospect who is explosive, feisty, and fast. He has PR’d in the mid-11 seconds in the 100M, a wicked time for his size and body type. He can get after it, and further nuance can unlock his potential as a game wrecker.

One of the more underrated defensive linemen in West Georgia, this Troup County defensive tackle showed impressive quickness and pursuit last year as a junior and ended the season with a respectable 49 tackles, 10 TFLs and seven sacks. He plays hard, plays with good leverage, lower body strength and the potential to have a giant senior season in 2026. At 6-foot-2 270-pounds, Johnson fires off the snap and has enough strength to consistently make an impact between the tackles. He’s one of the top returning pass-rushers in the region and is now ranked by Prep Redzone as the No. 37 DL prospect in the country.

A West Georgia defensive tackle who deserves more attention, Johnson may not be the biggest or heaviest defensive tackle in the area, but he plays hard, fires off the snap, and knows how to collapse the pocket from the inside. He’s naturally strong, knows how to shed blocks, and was a consistent defender all season long for the Tigers defense. He was a reliable run defender who made consistently plays at the line of scrimmage and in the backfield. This 6-foot-2 270-pounder made 49 tackles last season with 10 TFLs and seven sacks. Look for him to see a new Prep Redzone ranking come his way this spring.
