boro (N.J.) High's star player this season,
routinely earning double-teams from the
opposition. Even with teams constantly
using
bracket coverage schemes against
him, the four-star wide receiver totaled
38 receptions for 755 yards and eight touch-
downs, averaging just shy of 20 yards per
catch.
Glassboro :nished the season with an 8-
2 record, losing to West Deptford in the
quarter:nals of New Jersey's South Group
2. However, it did :nish the year on a high
note, defeating local rival Deptford two
weeks later in the teams' annual Thanks-
giving Day game. Following the season,
Johnson was named :rst-team All-South
Jersey by the Courier-Post of Camden, N.J.
"I really excelled at my playmaking abil-
ities this year," Johnson said. "I was able
to make catches, blocks and plays that I
wouldn't have made last year. Strength
and con:dence were big reasons why I
played the way I did this season."
DAIQUAN KELLY He projects as an out-
side linebacker at the college level, but
Kelly played safety this past season for
Union City (N.J.) High. He led the team in
tackles this year with 65, so that alone
shows the kind of athleticism he possesses.
Kelly also totaled four pass breakups, two
interceptions, one fumble recovery and
one blocked punt.
However, Union City fell short of its goal
of making the state championship game,
losing to Passaic County Tech, 12-6, in
the North 1 Group V semi:nals.
"Coming out on Friday nights under the

proved on a few things, but there's still a
lot of room to improve."
