is a player who has been on my radar for a while now and continued to stand out last week. He led Union County to a very impressive win on the road over Hart County. Johnson lined up at quarterback but did most of his damage as a ball carrier, finishing the game with 23 carries for 283 yards and four touchdowns. Jarren was able to showcase his explosive speed which he used to run away from the defense on long runs once he hit the open field. He also showed the strength and contact balance to break tackles with ease without losing stride. Johnson also completed 6/7 passes for 98 yards and a touchdown, and accounted for five tackles on defense. Jarren currently holds an offer from Kentucky Wesleyan and I can see more coming his way as he definitely has the talent to play at the next level.

He lines up at quarterback but does most of his damage as a ball carrier, running the ball 45 times for 397 yards and six touchdowns in the first two rounds of the playoffs. Johnson is dangerous in the open field, showing the speed to run away from the defense and elusiveness to make defenders miss. He has also thrown for 161 yards and a touchdown during their playoff run and has made an impact on defense, accounting for seven tackles and an interception. Jarren currently holds an offer from Kentucky Wesleyan and I expect more to come his way as he has received a solid amount of college interest and definitely has the talent to play at the next level.

, an athlete at Union County High School. Johnson impresses with his size and speed, using his physical edge to be a threat on the ground. In addition to being able to maneuver the pocket, I like how Johnson makes the most of limited space from along the edge. Johnson’s versatility also stands out as he can break free of the defense in the backfield.
