Draft Profile: Bio
Nasir Johnson played at Dublin High School in Georgia, where his senior season produced 32 tackles with a dozen in the backfield, plus two sacks. He also started at offensive guard as a junior and played basketball. 247Sports ranked him No. 76 nationally, though ESPN rated him a three-star, and he switched his pledge from Florida to Georgia.Johnson made two appearances in each of his first two seasons at Georgia, and his only college tackle came against Charlotte in 2025.
No 2026 game action has been found for Johnson, who is in his third year with the Bulldogs. He is one of the heaviest defensive linemen in the class, but his forty time is in the very slow range, and he has spent his career behind a deep group of Georgia tackles. His time at guard in high school gives him some experience as a blocker, and he remains a project on defense.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Massive frame, among the heaviest defensive linemen in the class
- Ranked 76th nationally among 2024 recruits by 247Sports
- Started at offensive guard as a high school junior
- Made a dozen tackles in the backfield as a Dublin senior
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Very slow forty time for a defensive lineman
- Just one tackle to show for four college appearances
- Not credited with any 2026 game action so far
- Only two sacks during his senior high school season
- Has spent three seasons as a deep reserve at Georgia
Scouting Report: Summary
Johnson is an enormous tackle and former top-100 recruit who also started at guard in high school. His size is rare even for the interior.However, his speed is very poor, and he has one tackle in four college games. He has not appeared this fall and offers little film for teams to study.
Overall, Johnson is a massive developmental lineman without production. He projects as a priority free agent only on size and is a long-term project.
