Several years back, at a Sound Mind Sound Body workout in Detroit, then-Michigan quarterback Shane Morris was throwing passes to a group of top high school receivers from the city. Among the group was a sixth grader who was about half the height of the rest of the group. But that youngster caught every ball thrown his way.
That was just one day of the process that has turned Grosse Pointe South freshman cornerback Will Johnson into a budding major college football recruit.
Some of the Max Ex Detroit coaches say he was “raised through the program,” and all of those years of tagging along have resulted in it now being his turn.
