had 6 tackles (3 solo) in the game, but this statistical performance is not what I am highlighting. Johnson’s biggest play will not appear in the stat sheet in any way, shape, or form. However, if I were Johnson’s coach, I would implore him to pin the play he made on Cedar Grove’s first possession of the second quarter to his highlight tape forever.

Playing what appears to be Tampa 2 to his side, Johnson’s eyes were perfect and he reacted immediately, lighting Morrice up as he tried to cross is face on the pattern. As a result he jarred the ball loose. Although the pass was ruled incomplete and thus negated the subsequent action, Johnson had the presence of mind to scoop the ball up and return it for a would-be score.
The impact of this play was its brunt that Morrice had to shoulder. Morrice had to exit the game for several plays and did not appear to be himself for the remainder of the game upon his return. This was the first defensive turning point in the game for Glassboro.
Johnson’s best football is still ahead of him. Just having completed his sophomore year, he broke through the lineup in a big way with 65 tackles (30 solo), 1 forced fumble, and 4 interceptions.
