With a lengthy frame, Coach Manny Diaz and company would be wise to prepare Van Dyke by practicing with paddles/tennis racquets at the line of scrimmage a la Bill Belichick when he would prep Tom Brady to face JJ Watt. Johnson II is also listed as a Bednarik Award Semifinalist - presented to the nation’s top defensive player. Prepare Van Dyke: During Tyler Van Dyke’s tenure, he is yet to face a pass rusher as disruptive as Johnson II, who earned ACC defensive lineman of the week against Clemson. The graduate transfer has had to work hard and change his attitude to rise up the ranks, which sounds very similar to the Miami transfer, Phillips, who tweeted: “crazy what hard work and mindset change can do,” after his sensational 2020 season. The production has been obvious this season for Jermaine who has seen his stock rise as high as a projected top-ten pick for the 2022 Draft. His bend is also top notch as he disrupts running backs and tight ends alike. His athletic ability and explosiveness at the line of scrimmage will be a challenge for a Miami offensive line that has been up-and-down recently. Needless to say, Johnson II’s arsenal is well-balanced and there is reason to fear the 260-pounder who ran a 4.5 40-yard dash in high school. Overall, Jermaine has earned a 79.5 PFF grade this year, which is well-rounded as he has earned an 80.6 run defense grade, 72.2 pass rush grade, and 72.5 coverage grade.

Johnson II transferred out of one of the most lauded defenses in the country but has seamlessly transitioned into a FSU defensive line room that experienced two draftee departures in defensive ends, Janarius Robinson and Joshua Kaindoh (fourth round), as well as defensie tackle, Marvin Wilson, who was initially a priority free agent. Even more, Johnson II only started four games while playing in the SEC in a rotational role where he tallied 36 tackles, 7.0 for loss, and 6.5 sacks over two years of play.įor reference, Johnson II has had a meteoric rise in nine starts for the Noles as he has tallied a monstrous 54 tackles, 10.5 for loss, and 7.5 sacks on the 2021 campaign. However, he mostly played standing up as an outside linebacker. Johnson II was a highly rated JUCO recruit and made the jump to the Georgia Bulldogs. Johnson II not only excelled on the field, but worked on his academics, which opened the door to FBS level ball. With the path to FBS ball seemingly stymied, Johnson II had to pursue the last chance route, junior college, and made the move to Independence Community College in Kansas. To make matters even more challenging for the Minnesota native, Johnson II was deemed academically ineligible by the NCAA as he honed a GPA of just 1.9. vbr6vrz9Sn- Ben Fennell October 12, 2021 Hailing from Eden Prairie, Minnesota, the redshirt senior’s journey has quite literally been a well-documented one of last chances as he was featured on Netflix’s documentary, “Last Chance U.” But, as is usually the case on the field for pass rushers, it’s not how you start it’s how you finish. Johnson II’s path, similar to Miami transfers Phillips and Roche, has been hardly linear. Jermaine’s Circuitous Route to Premier EDGE Pass Rusher Whether they want to or not, the Canes will get an up close and personal look at Jermaine this Saturday, who is one of the nation’s best defensive players this season. While Johnson has been a contributor on the Canes front seven, it is another EDGE defender named Johnson who moved from the SEC to an ACC school in Florida that has been the prized breakout transfer: FSU’s Jermaine Johnson II. Indeed, the Canes were hoping for a Phillips-type splash and looked at the SEC where they signed Deandre Johnson from Tennessee. V5qbV0Xlh4- Canes Legacy December 24, 2020 Miami can also help him get the bulk he needs for the NFL. He’s a natural speed passrusher and will get physical, but the heavy DE rotation probably made it hard to get in a rhythm.
