Hazelwood Central TE Hunter Johnson Breaks Barriers with Power 4 Offer
Hazelwood Central Hawks tight end Hunter Johnson has made history as the first player from the program to earn a Power 4 offer, a testament to his impressive skills on the field. According to Hudl, Johnson recorded 23 receptions for 374 yards and 6 touchdowns in 2023, averaging 16.3 yards per catch. The 6-foot standout's impressive performance has not gone unnoticed, as he has drawn comparisons to top tight ends in the Class of 2025. Johnson's offer from the Power 4 school marks a significant milestone for the Hawks, who compete in the Class 6 district of the Missouri high school sports landscape. As Johnson prepares for his senior season, scouts will be watching to see how he develops his route-running skills and whether he can maintain his high level of production in the Hawks' offense. Specifically, scouts will be monitoring his ability to create separation from defenders and his chemistry with quarterback.
