Wagner College Athletics

Malik Johnson gained valuable experience on the field as a true freshman in 2018 and is looking for that playing time to pay dividends both at linebacker and on special teams this season. 

2018: Saw action in six games, primarily on special teams ... Recorded a career--high three tackles in just his second collegiate game under the bright lights at the Carrier Dome vs. Syracuse (9/8) ... Added one tackle vs. Campbell (10/6).

Before Wagner: Aggressive, fast linebacker with great lateral quickness who plays the game with great intensity …. Enjoyed a breakout senior season after serving as a reserve behind two FBS linebackers earlier in his career … Three-sport lettermen for the Longhorns who also excelled ass a wrestler and on the track and field team ... Played for Coach Korey Mobbs at Lanier High School.
