He went over the 20+ sack marker, on his way to leading Marin Catholic to a CIF State Title. He still remains unsigned, but put some very impressive stuff on tape in 2023. He is a explosive pass rusher with a quick use of hands at the POA, shows an elite first step and bend around the edge while able to counter back inside and win with both speed and power. He is stout against the run with quick block recognition and quick to lock out drive blocks while quickly collapsing the pocket with closing speed and finish. He should get some FCS+ interest over the next couple of months and is one of the regions top unsigned prospects.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-658f10c9df491"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1128260"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Johnson checks into our rankings as a top 50 offensive lineman in the state, and has signed to Idaho State already. He has a great frame and length for the tackle position, while playing with good bend, explosion out of his stance and a strong punch at the POA. He is able to finish blocks downfield and block at the second level while showing he can excel in pass protection s well against both speed and power rushers. he held offers from the Bengals and San Diego, and has some nice upside at the next level as he continues to grow and develop.rnrnu0026nbsp;","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-658f10c9df4ff"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1128261"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Hoffman is a very productive defensive lineman that comes from one of the toughest leagues in the state and has been dominating SFL competition for the past few seasons. He can play both inside and outside across the line, and is a heavy puncher that wins with leverage, immediate knock-back and can quickly get off blocks and redirect to ball carriers. He moves well for his size, carries his weight well and is a powerful player inside while also a mismatch due to his short area twitch, ability to counter and relentless pursuit and high motor. He currently has two PWO offers from Fresno State and Sacramento State, and if another FCS school comes in and offers Hoffman that will not be surprising.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-658f10c9df56b"} /-->
