2024 Moments

Last season was amazing how we had a great record on JV being 9-2 and then being pulled up to help our team dominate other teams on varsity for playoffs and eventually the state championship for the first time in our county.

In watching your Hudl package, it is very easy to see that you can be very physical, even being a smaller player. Can you share with the readers what all goes into being a physical-type player, even with you being listed at 5-8, 155?

When you’re a smaller guy, you’ve got to be more aggressive and hungry to hit and beat these bigger guys.  I just have to work harder than them. 

In watching your Hudl package, you back pedal easily, and when you make a move to the receiver, you wrap up when making the tackle. How much of this comes from natural ability along with watching game film and practice?

I have a lot of years of football under me now, and I every year it comes back even better with more knowledge of how to play better than the year before.  Then the practices and game film help to show me who I gotta hit faster and harder. 

How would you describe your style of play?

I am always all over the field ready to get the ball or get whoever has the ball. 

What has been your biggest moment on the football field?

Definitely getting picks and sometimes pick sixes all throughout my high school career so far.  

How did you get into being a holder?

I was a backup QB, and they put me in that spot and liked me there so I stayed. 

What is the toughest part of being a cornerback? 

Making sure that WR does not get the ball.  Having most WRs taller, I have had to train harder to get over the receiver to the ball.

What is the most rewarding part of being a cornerback?

Learning how to react fast to your opponent and gaining better ball knowledge. 

Wide receiver or cornerback: Which one do you feel you are better at? Explain

I feel like I am better at cornerback because I can react fast, speed up fast to stay with the WR, and I just enjoy being on defense and tackling people. 

What are your goals for the season?

To get some good highlights videos. 

What goals are you setting for your team?

Continuing to make each other better every day and work together to get another championship. 

What makes you a good teammate?

I’m good at pushing others so that we can both learn and get better together. 

What do you feel is your greatest strength as a football player?

I’m disciplined, and I have a mad man work ethic. 

What is your favorite home-cooked meal?

Definitely some corn on the cob with burgers and mashed potatoes. 

Outside of sports, what are you doing for fun?

I like to go camping to fish and ride dirt bikes. 

Who are your favorite and least favorite college football teams?

I like any college that would put me in the best scenario for achieving my goals of playing football.

It’s been great. I’ve been focused on earning trust and building chemistry with the team. When you met your new teammates, what was the first thing that you said to them? I told them I’m excited to be a part of something special, work hard, and help the team win. What do you believe the strongest part of your game is? I think my ability to stay balanced, whether that’s making the right throw or using my legs when I need to help the offense stay moving. How would you describe your style of play? I’d say I’m a gritty, poised quarterback who’s good at pocket passing but not afraid to put my shoulder down to get an extra yard. What have you done during the off-season to better your game? In the off-season, I focused on gaining weight, improving m...

  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...
