<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The tight end position in high school has a tendency to be hit-and-miss when it comes to having a player who is truly balanced as a blocker and receiver.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Oftentimes, the position is filled by a player who is either a solid additional blocker or a primarily receiving athlete.

His blocking success comes from his quick feet, explosive strikes, and dominating power, but his competitive playing style helps to set him apart from the rest. He is an outstanding competitor who shows a lot of toughness when engaging in blocks, running routes through the middle of the box, and making catches in traffic. Johnson is a skilled receiver whose size makes his athleticism all the more impressive.

His abilities as a pass-catcher make him a legitimate receiving threat whose athleticism turns him into a mismatch for linebackers while his size gives him an advantage over defensive backs. Scobey has an offer from Drake University and is on a couple of FBS radars, making him a player to offer while he is still available.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
