Senior Xavier Johnson Is A No-Brainer!
For those who have watched Hollywood South Broward senior Xavier Johnson play – all the way back to his youth football days, are not surprised by his success. They are, however, disappointed that college coaches – even in Covid – cannot see how dominating this young man is.
When we say that it’s always wise to actually watch the student/athletes perform live, it’s for a good reason.
Recruiting has now become so specialized that any and every “stone” is fair game when you happen to be recruiting against some of the elite schools in the nation.
No matter what class the athlete may be in – this is time of year that they will be looking for publicity and exposure.
With the season finished throughout the country, it is now officially the off-season, and with this pandemic still gripping many of us, the camps, combines and 7-on-7 events will still happen in many places, but you can almost guarantee that they will all be watched closely until the vaccine becomes available for all.
The one thing we do during the off-season, is provide information on players and teams that we see LIVE. This Covid-controlled season, we still managed to get in 75 different games – with as many as seven doubleheaders – ensuring that we will see those prospects that fans are asking questions about. It has always been that way.
While we will run our list for the top players in the classes, there are so many athletes that people just do not see – and from our camp, combine and 7-on-7 visits, we will be able to uncover athletes that many have never heard about.
Also, there are current seniors who didn’t get the looks they deserved – and obviously – the pandemic had everything to do with it.
We hope you enjoy our coverage of all Florida high school football year-round.
THE JOHNSON FILE
NAME: Xavier Johnson
CLASS: 2021
SCHOOL: Hollywood South Broward
POSITION: LB/RB/TE/DE
HEIGHT: 6-3
WEIGHT: 245
THE SCOOP: Perhaps the best thing about covering the state of Florida is the recruiting season never stops.
Football prospects that continue to watch their stock rise – even when college coaches are not watching – is what we have been all about for a half century.
The true advantage of seeing talent perform live vs. watching the same tape that everyone watches, gives you the opportunity to pick up so much about an athlete.
One of the key things that you cannot see from tape is character. The same character that can make or break a football player.
JOHNSON HAS TRULY BEEN OVERLOOKED
For those who have watched this impressive young man play – all the way back to his youth football days, are not surprised by his success. They are, however, disappointed that college coaches – even in Covid – cannot see how dominating this young man is.
His size, athletic ability to play seven positions and passion for the game should have been more than enough to sign, seal and deliver this difference maker to some major program.
Having followed recruiting for many years, there are plenty of gifted prospects that get overlooked, but when head coach Josh Shapiro and others have been sending out tape and calling colleges all over the place, these schools that are missing out on this quality talent, deserve to be on the outside looking in.
Remember, this is Florida – and if you get it done against multiple programs and athletes, there is a better than average chance to that success is not far behind.
We have been going around the Sunshine State, picking out athletes – underclassmen and current seniors – to spotlight and showcase for our many readers and followers to see.
Check this talented football player out. You will not be sorry!
