Parker Johnson '19 Recruiting Profile

    This is my first season playing football and I’ve loved every minute of it. I played 3 years of Varsity Soccer at Apollo High School prior to my move to Crittenden County. My goal is to go to college and receive an education while also playing football. I am very socialable and will talk and make friends with anybody. I do not complain and I am very driven and will do whatever it takes to help the team by bettering myself and those around me.

    As a soccer player, I realized that success was driven by much more than chance or one good game after we lost in the district opener twice to our rivals.  This helped me come to the conclusion that I need to be able to fall back on to my training when things are not looking the best. Also, I adapted the ability to not choke under pressure from the last-second penalty kicks that I had to take as a Soccer Player. My friend from my old soccer team is a Kicker and was the first to introduce me to the idea of being a Kicker for a football team. After a couple mess-around kicking sessions, I came to the conclusion that being a Kicker was something I thoroughly enjoyed. I decided to move in with my Mother to kick for the local High School team. Despite starting late, I haven't let the lost time slow my progress.  Academically, I would love to Major in Criminal Justice or PT and pursue a career in either after my football-playing career ends.
