Junior Defensive Tackle- PJ Johnson

Another possibly huge piece on the defensive line, is junior college transfer, PJ Johnson. A standout at City College of San Francisco, Johnson being on this list is kind of a no brainer for me.

Arizona was fortunate in Johnson being able to come early to get adapted as quickly as possible. He had a terrific spring game, and given the Wildcats’ situation on the defensive line, they need size and Johnson certainly brings it.

Standing 6-foot-3-inches and 300 pounds, that’s some serious beef Arizona could use. He was rather impressive in the Spring game from what I saw, and I think that translates into the 2018 season as well.

He will provide immediate depth and will have an impact that Wildcats have desperately needed for some time.
