4-Star Junior receiver Jordan Johnson has received an invite to participate in the 2019 Under Armour All-American game. The 6’2, 195 lb wideout has 438 yards and 5 touchdowns so far in his junior season.

“I’m excited,” Johnson said. “It’s another opportunity to compete but on a bigger stage, in front of a bigger crowd, and with some other top players in the country”.

Johnson has been offered by 24 different D1 universities across the country. He says his work ethic comes from his coach, head football coach Robert Steeples.

“Coach steeples has really helped guide me through all the success I’ve had,” Johnson said. “and he has just told me to stay humble and make the right decisions for myself”.

The game will be played on ESPN after next years season in January 2020.

“I know a lot of big time players have been through this process and played in the game and in the league,” Johnson said. “So it’s a great opportunity.”
