Columbus West

OFFENSIVE line & defensive line

2027

5-8,225

Awards won or earned: Started as a freshman at Kipp Columbus and as a sophomore started at West.

Who or what got you into football?

My dad got me into football, watching guys like Ray Lewis, Marshawn Lynch, Cam Newton, and other superstars.

What are your personal goals for the 2025 season?

I knew when I was young what I wanted to do to help bring a new west back: really just taking the next step forward in my game. Staying in the weight room all summer and working on technique

What goals are you placing on the West Cowboys this season?

The goals I have for the team are just really playing more as a team and really just playing for your brother.

Offensive or defensive line: Which one is harder to prepare for?

I honestly feel like both are hard, but the offensive line is harder. If a defensive lineman gets 1 sack a game, that's 10 to 12 sacks; he probably will go D1. If an offensive lineman allows a sack every game, he probably won't see him anywhere in college football.

Offensive line or defensive line: Which one do you believe you are best at?

I think I am good at both, so I can't separate one from the other.

Which game are you looking forward to the most?

The games I'm most looking forward to are there are actually 3 games: Eastmoor, because that was a game we could have won, but we just gave up Walnut Ridge because they won the south division last season and Linden because they won the north division last season.

What is the best part of playing sports for the WWest Cowboys?

The best part about playing for West for me is I get to play with guys I've played with and coaches that care.

What is the toughest part of being a student athlete?

Still have to do what you have to do when you are tired.

Who is the best player that you have faced in a game, along with the team he played on?

IDK his name, but my freshman year at Kipp, they had this QB; he was nice; he was playing D1.

right now.

What makes you a good teammate?

What makes me a great teammate is if you're going up against me, I'm going to make you work, especially if you're a lineman.

What was the highlight of the 2024 season?

What are your favorite and least favorite parts of practice?

Favorite part of practice when we do 1-on-1s and the worst part when we got 15 to 20 gassers.

What scares you?

Getting injured

Who are your role models?

My dad and mom and God

What is your favorite class or subject?

History

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...
