This All-Big 12 safety is embracing his leadership role with TCU football
Steven Johnson
With so many household names on defense gone, TCU football will need a new set of leaders to step up during the fall.
One of those players figures to be strong safety Jamel Johnson. The All-Big 12 safety had a breakout year with 96 tackles and five interceptions as a junior.
Johnson’s return to Fort Worth gives TCU one of the best safeties in the country, and with the departure of stars like Bud Clark, Namdi Obiazor and Kaleb Elarms-Orr, it’s on Johnson to assume that leadership mantle in 2026. So far the former Arlington Seguin standout has been up to the task.
