Wayzata Trojans' Malik Johnson Weighs Transfer Options
Wayzata junior running back Malik Johnson is reportedly considering a transfer from the Trojans due to a dispute over playing time. With only 10 returning starters from last season's 6A playoff team, the Trojans are counting on Johnson to be a key contributor. His departure would leave a significant void in the backfield, potentially impacting the team's chances in a competitive Lake Conference. According to sources, Johnson has received interest from programs in neighboring states, including Minnesota's rival, the St. Paul Highland Park Scots, as well as Iowa's Cedar Rapids Washington Warriors and Wisconsin's Brookfield Central Huskies. The Trojans are expected to continue monitoring the situation as the transfer portal deadline approaches.
