2021 NFL Draft Arizona Cardinals

Ohio State fought off many schools to keep the top-10 overall recruit in his home state after he was named the Anthony Munoz Offensive Lineman of the Year out of Princeton High School in Cincinnati. He played in five games as a reserve his true freshman season, including the national title game against Alabama. Johnson started at right guard in all 13 games of his sophomore season, garnering second-team All-Big Ten notice for his efforts. He moved to left tackle for 2022, playing well enough in 13 starts at his new spot to receive second-team Associated Press All-American and first-team All-Big Ten accolades. -- by Chad Reuter

BJ Ojulari is the brother of Azeez Ojulari, who starred as a pass rusher for Georgia before landing with the New York Giants as a second-round pick in 2021. BJ made his own name as a top national recruit out of Georgia's Marietta High School. He enrolled at LSU a semester early so he could play as a true freshman; he started once in 10 appearances in 2020 (16 tackles, five for loss with four sacks). Olujari led the Tigers with seven sacks among his 55 total stops, 11.5 for loss, in 13 games with 12 starts as a sophomore. He ascended to first-team All-SEC status in 2022, starting 11 games (58 tackles, 8.5 for loss with 5.5 sacks) and missing two early-season games with a knee injury. He opted out of the team's bowl game. -- by Chad Reuter

He tied for the conference lead with 10 pass breakups to earn honorable mention all-league notice. The former all-region pick at Hickory Ridge High School in North Carolina was an honorable mention All-ACC pick in 2021, tying for the conference lead once more with 10 breakups, in addition to posting 52 tackles, five for loss, in 10 starts.
