90 Days to Purdue Football: Lawrence Johnson

Lawrence Johnson - Jr.

Fort Wayne, IN (Snider HS)

6’3”, 300 pounds

Defensive Line

2021 Projection: Starter

The time is now for Johnson to be an answer. He has the size to be a solid defensive tackle in the Big Ten, and he enters this year with experience. After playing in just two games and keeping his redshirt in 2018 he burst onto the scene in 2019, playing in all 12 games and even starting nine times.
