Ian Johnson '20 Recruiting Profile

I have been golfing since I could remember. Since I first stepped on the greens, I have aspired to play at the collegiate level. I know that playing in college is a once in a lifetime opportunity that could change my whole life. You see I have had a lot of challenges to overcome. I have Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome which means that I only have the right side of my heart. The left side of my heart didn’t fully develop. At one point the doctors only gave me a 50% chance of living. I’ve had 3 open heart surgeries in my lifetime all when I was a baby.

I have a high sports IQ, am a team leader and try to lead by example. I am very coachable and strive to be one of the hardest working golfers and one of the hardest working recruits you’ll find.

I’m also a member of the athletic training team here at Creighton Prep. I had an internship with the Omaha Beef. I’m currently working for MECA Omaha as a Usher/Ticket-taker.

I want to attend a college where I can push myself in the classroom and on the golf course. I am open to all options and want to ultimately find the right college match at the highest level of competition possible. I hope to become a great role model to all my peers and make my parents proud.
