Johnny Chaney Jr. is a seasoned linebacker entering his senior season with FIU after transferring in from Colorado ahead of the 2025 campaign. A Florida native with deep roots in the game, Chaney brings a wealth of experience, toughness, and production to the Panthers' defensive unit.
Before arriving at FIU, Chaney made his mark at Florida A&M, where he totaled 141 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss, and 3.5 sacks across the 2022 and 2023 seasons. He also showed his versatility and special teams value with a brief stint at Colorado in 2024, appearing in four games. Known for his high motor and sideline-to-sideline range, Chaney has a proven ability to disrupt plays and lead by example.
His football journey began at Wekiva High School under Coach Lamarcus Jackson, where he racked up 100 tackles, 27 tackles for loss, and 12 sacks over three seasons. His physical style and relentless pursuit of the ball have made him a standout at every level.
