74: Noah Johnson, junior offensive lineman – Idaho
If Big Sky newcomer Idaho wants to contend in its first year, it'll need to keep pace with the rest of the offensively-minded league. That'll start with the big guys on the Vandals' offensive line. The best of them? Six-foot-four Noah Johnson.
A western transplant who played high school ball in Fayetteville, Arkansas, Johnson was one of only two offensive players from the Vandals to make one of the Sun Belt's two All-Conference teams in 2017. His high level of play should continue in the FCS.
With three senior lineman graduating from the Big Sky's first team, Noah Johnson could immediately be seen as a premiere offensive lineman out west in 2018.
