2015 Killian ATH JaQuan Johnson (5’10, 173) burst onto the scene last year as a freshman, being named to the All-Dade 8A first team. Johnson already holds offers from Florida, Florida State, and Marshall, but not hometown Miami.
“I got the Florida offer at the last camp I went to and the Florida State offer at my spring game. I like Florida a lot. I like Miami a lot, but they’re not talking to me. The coaches aren’t talking to me at all. I like the history around Miami, but if they offered I don’t think it would be my top school. Coach T-Rob (Travaris Robinson, UF DB Coach) at Florida kept it real with me,” Johnson said.
The rising sophomore plays on both sides of the ball, but sees his future at safety.
“I want to go to college for safety. I get to give the hits instead of being hit,” he added.
He doesn’t plan on rushing to any decisions, though.
“I plan on committing during my senior season. I’ll just be looking at the best interests for me,” he said.
Killian is looking to surprise people this year.
“I think we can win it this year. The way we work separates us. We got this cornerback who came from Columbus, Trumaine Washington. We got Malcolm Vandergass, who came from Columbus, he’s a wide receiver and he’s gonna be playing safety this year too, and we have my brother, Jerry Johnson, who will be playing linebacker this year.”
