Jake Johnson '14 Recruiting Profile

I would love to start out by saying that I love being diligent in everything that I do and keeping myself busy. I have always loved to keep myself physically fit by maintaining a healthy lifestyle. During my Senior year of playing High School football and running track, I had the privilege to be a captain. There I learned what it means to lead a team through trails until victory has been accomplished and how to be an example to my fellow peers on and off the field. Also, my senior year in track I was faced with adversity but by overcoming it I was able to place 4th in the 100 meter dash and place 3rd in the 200 meter dash within my High School division at The State Championship. As I reflect on my Junior and Senior year of my High School football career, I noticed that I had played Outside linebacker but my primary position and the position that I think I would most succeed at at a college level would probably be Strong Safety or Free Safety.

Now, I have just returned from serving an Honorable two year Religious LDS Mission in Ecuador. Where I lived a strict set of standards and was able to learn many hardworking attributes that will and are helping me succeed in daily life. My plans now are to follow my dream and obtain a College Degree while playing College football so that one day I can support a family. I take my schooling and grades just as serious as I do football.
