AggieYell.com's series on the 30 players most important to Texas A&M football's success in 2020 continues with number 2, linebacker Buddy Johnson.
Class: Senior
Height/Weight: 6-foot-2, 240 pounds
2019 stats: Team-high 77 tackles, 9.5 TFL, 1 sack, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovery, 1 TD in 13 games (all starts)
Projected 2020 role: Starting middle linebacker
Why he's #2 on the list: One of the leaders of the team, Johnson has to take charge of the leader of what could be a very good defense. Even though he led the team in tackles, he's also a player with one of the biggest upsides, having started for just a single season. He's already a player teammates look to in the locker room and the huddle; if he sets the example with his play as well, the Aggies are going to be extremely stout on defense.
