Crusader Linebacker Makes History with Power 4 Offer
Monroe Woodbury's Jordan Johnson has etched his name in Crusaders lore as the first player from the program to earn a Power 4 offer. The Class of 2026 linebacker's impressive 4.5 sacks per game average in 2024 has scouts taking notice. Johnson's versatility on the field, where he can rush the quarterback or drop into coverage, has drawn comparisons to top college prospects. At 6-foot-2, 215 pounds, Johnson's size and speed combination is rare for a high school player. His ability to read the opposing offense and make plays on the ball has made him a valuable asset to the Crusaders' defense. Johnson's recruitment is heating up, with Power 4 programs already extending offers. As the 2026 season approaches, scouts will be watching to see if Johnson can maintain his dominant form and lead the Crusaders to a successful campaign. Specifically, they'll be monitoring his ability to adapt to different game situations and his development as a leader on the field.
