Jake Johnson, Oconee County

Oconee County High School tight end Jake Johnson comes from a family of football players. His father Brad Johnson helped the Tampa Bay Buccaneers win Super Bowl XXXVII in 2003 and Jake’s brother Max Johnson is a quarterback for LSU. However, Jake is absolutely making a name for himself in the game. Jake, who is selected in the 2021 class of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Super 11, is the No. 7 senior prospect at any position and the No. 1 TE prospect nationally, according to 247Sports.
