Transfer Portal Rumor: Eden Prairie LB Marcus Johnson Eyes New Opportunity
Junior linebacker Marcus Johnson is reportedly considering a transfer from Eden Prairie High School due to his family's relocation plans. Johnson's potential departure could significantly impact the Eagles' 6A defense, where linebackers are in short supply. With several key starters departing after last season, Eden Prairie's depth at the position is a major concern. According to sources, Johnson is being recruited by top programs in Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin, including perennial powers like Lakeville North, Cedar Rapids Washington, and Kimberly. The 6-foot-2, 220-pound standout was a key contributor to the Eagles' 2024 playoff run, recording 75 tackles and three sacks. His decision will be closely watched by college scouts and high school football fans alike.
