After All-MAC season, BGSU football tight end Jyrin Johnson chasing pro football future

BOWLING GREEN — Jyrin Johnson’s single season in orange and brown was enough to leave a lasting imprint on the Mid-American Conference record books. The tight end’s 2023 campaign earned him first-team All-MAC honors, extending Bowling Green State University’s streak to three consecutive years with the league’s top tight end.

Johnson, who arrived on campus as a graduate transfer, wasted no time asserting himself as a matchup nightmare, culminating in the conference-wide recognition. With his collegiate eligibility exhausted, the 6-4 pass-catcher has now turned his attention toward the next level, training for pro-day workouts and awaiting feedback from scouts in hopes of securing a professional opportunity.

BGSU has produced a succession of standout tight ends, and Johnson’s placement on the All-MAC first team keeps that pipeline flowing. While the Falcons prepare for life after Johnson, the tight end is focused on proving he can translate his breakout season into a pro contract.
