STATESBORO - Georgia Southern senior defensive end Raymond Johnson III has been named a second-team All-American by Pro Football Focus, a site dedicated solely to the analysis of every player and every play of every game to deliver player grades, stats, and rankings for the NFL, fantasy football, and NFL Draft.
Johnson III becomes the fourth All-American in the FBS era for the Eagles, joining Younghoe Koo who was a third-team All-American by Phil Steele in 2016, Kindle Vildor, a second-team All-American by PFF in 2018 and Tyler Bass, a second-team All-American by Chris Sailer Kicking in 2018.

Johnson III had a nation-best 91.6 overall grade, including an 89.6 grade against the run.
