I am Alexander “A.J.” Johnson Jr., a steadfast student-athlete, from South Central Los Angeles, California. Currently, I am a Fairfax Lion, of West Los Angeles, and I am a part of the Varsity Football club there. My senior year begins this fall, and I will be walking the stage with the graduating class of 2016 In June. In addition to the fact that I would only consider it an honor to play football at the collegiate level, I would consider it a blessing and privilege to realize the first phase of my biggest dream, and unite with a program that shares my vision of being Great - on and off the field. As an athlete, I am fervent and I am fearless! In fall 2014, I returned to football as a new student at Fairfax, made the Varsity team, and started as the Free Safety. I achieved 35 solo tackles, in 8 games played; averaging 4 tackles per game. Into the bargain, I assisted our Varsity Track & Field team this spring, in which we ran to 2nd place in the 400M Relay, and 3rd in the 1600M Relay of the Western League Championship – all for the love and training for football. As a student, I am pretty well-rounded. I completed my junior year with a 3.0, and though I’ve struggled some with math and foreign language, I’ve scored nothing less than a 2.8 throughout my high school academic career. I am no stranger to hard work and studying. I enjoy reading, writing, & discussion so I make high marks in all other subjects. I took the SAT in March this year and scored 1130 altogether. This fall season of high school football will be my last opportunity to make an impression. It is my plan, God willing, to set precedence. I will be play-making on both sides of the field in the Defensive Back, Line Backer, Slot-receiver positions. I love being on the field when and wherever I am needed, but in my passion stands a defender.
