Trevon Johnson: Thompson's Unlikely Starter
Thompson Warriors linebacker Trevon Johnson has made a statement in his first Alabama high school season, leading the 7A team in tackles with 22 in just three scrimmages. The Class of 2027 product transferred from out-of-state powerhouse, making his immediate impact all the more impressive. Johnson's 7.3 tackles per game average has coaches and scouts taking notice. The 6-foot-2, 220-pound junior has shown exceptional instincts and speed in the Warriors' defense, allowing him to quickly close gaps and make plays. Johnson's ability to read the opposing offense and anticipate the ball carrier's next move has been a key factor in Thompson's strong preseason performance. As the Warriors prepare for their regular season opener, scouts will be watching to see if Johnson can maintain his high level of production and continue to dominate on the field. Will he be able to adapt to the physicality of Alabama's 7A competition, and how will he fare against the state's top running backs?
