Goals for 2025

Help lead the Braves to a state title. Be a lock-down defender. Make big plays. Keep getting better.

2024 High Point

First day of practice — I was fired up. The season peaked when I grabbed an end-zone INT in my first playoff game vs. Olentangy Orange and returned it to the 30.

Most Disappointing Moment

Saying goodbye to the seniors I’ve played sports with for years.

What Motivates You?

Family. My sister Kai and brother Ares —we’re super close. I also love the grind.

What Did You Learn From 11 Starts?

Mental focus every snap. Film is everything — opponent scouting and watching myself to improve footwork, speed, and power. Every good rep builds good muscle.

Best Opponent Faced

Christian Moulton (Olentangy Liberty) and Matt Giannantonio (Dublin Jerome)—both skilled WRs. Loved the battle.

Game You’re Most Looking Forward To?

Every playoff game. But if the name starts with “Olentangy”—Libert”y, Berlin, or Orange — it’s personal.

What Will You Miss From the 2025 Class?

They embraced me back in middle school. Great guys, great players — Jackson Wiley, JJ Jah, Cooper Tracy, and more.

Strongest Part of Your Game

Acceleration, hip agility, tackling. I love press man, off man, and zone — I want all the smoke.

Years in Each Sport

Football: 3

Basketball: 8

Track: 4

Which Sport Are You Best At?

In my mind, whichever one I’m playing.

Turf or Grass?

Turf — fast track.

Best Pizza in Town?

Cottage Inn Pizza.

Favorite athlete?

My older sister, Kai Cornelius, is a Murray State softball commit.

Ever been to a Clippers game?

Yes — Luis Campusano threw Ares a game ball when I was younger. I like the Clippers’ manager too.

Season Recap / Memorable Moments

We finished 8-3. Loved every second playing on this defense and with this team. Hoping to play some offense next year too. Coach Bart makes every event, including practice, tons of fun with this team with focus

My respect for other teammates, my hard work and dedication, and lifting my teammates up during hard times. What was the highlight of the 2024 season? The highlight of my 2024 season was definitely the 42-yard free kick Coach Daniel Barker had me working on all week before we played that Friday night. For those that don’t know, a free kick happens after receiving a fair catch. Your team can choose to kick a field goal off a kickoff tee from where the fair catch was received. It’s very rarely used in football now. But I did do it. I made a 42-yard free kick, and it made my season! What was the toughest part of the 2024 season? The hardest part of the 2024 season was probably finding out that my best friend ...

  Jarred Johnson Huntington High School Guard, Defensive Line, MLB 2027 5'9, 230 lbs. Jersey Number: 59 Other sports played: powerlifting Please post a small recap of last season with something like a big game you had, something about a certain game, something from a bus ride to or from the game, or something that sticks out from a practice. A big game last year for me was the game against Eastern Pike; even though the score didn’t show it, I feel like I had a good game on both sides of the ball. Eastern is always a good game. When we last spoke, you had said that 2024 would be the first year playing on the defensive line. So, how did that go? Last year was my first year playing defensive line; it went great. I loved being the one who did the dirty work for our inside linebackers! Last time we spoke, you said one of your goals was to become a leader. Were you able to achieve this goal? Yes, now that I’m considered an “upperclassman,” I feel that it’s my job to lead the upcoming pla...
