Josiah Johnson

Josiah Johnson signed with and joined South Dakota State’s football program as part of their incoming class and has quickly established himself as a powerful and reliable play maker in the Jackrabbits backfield.

A 60foot, 220-pound dynamo from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Johnson brings physicality, vision, and a nose for the end zone too one of the Missouri Valley’s most explosive offenses.

A bruising yet explosive running back, Johnson brings a downhill mentality and a finish-through-contact edge that defenders feel long after the whistle.

Built with power and balance, he runs with authority between the tackles but has the burst to hit the crease and flip the field in a heartbeat.

Short yardage, red zone, late-game drives when the defense knows what’s coming and still can’t stop it, that’s where Johnson thrives.
