Shepard Johnson '25 Recruiting Profile

First off, I'm a great student at a really challenging school. Not to mention I'm very involved in my community, setting up charities and organizing fundraisers. 

I fell in love with football around 7th grade and haven't looked back. My road to QB1 hasn't been exactly pretty: covid took me off the field, then my sophomore year I broke my arm in practice the day before the first game, which sidelined me for the season. Junior year, I broke my other arm and decided to play with my cast as a utility player wherever my team needed me - I have a knack for breaking through O-lines. However, my passion has always been QB and I've trained hard and worked hard to out-create all the obstacles thrown in my path. Now, after years of training, my body has finally caught up to my passion. I've worked with a private QB coach for 4 years and I have worked with an incredible speed trainer as well. Additionally, I have a great mind of the game. Reading defenses and visualizing plays developing in real-time is a strength. I'm constantly developing my skillset and I take no days off. I'm either studying film, in the gym or on the field. I strive to constantly improve and I guarantee I will be a welcome asset to any program. I'm currently QB1 for my team, and I'm loving every second of it. I'm not accepting anything less than giving it my all. I plan to immediately jump into a club program after my season wraps up and I'm hoping I can find a good fit where I can add tremendous value to a program while honing and continuing to develop as QB. People may think I'm crazy, but I see myself in the NFL and I'll put in the work necessary to make that happen.
