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...

The Thursday nights before our games, our parents provide a team meal for us. We eat good food and talk about what we need to do for the game. It’s a great time with teammates and allows us to get on the same page and get focused as a team. After watching your Hudl package, the one thing that stuck out loudly was once you get to the ball carrier, you do not miss making the tackle. Can you tell the readers what all goes into how you make this look so easy? It doesn’t feel easy; it’s a process for me. I really focus on fundamentals, remembering everythin...
