A passion for the game of football is what separates Lafayette offensive tackle Eli Johnson away from others on the field each Friday.

Johnson is set to play his final season with the Commodores in 2015, preparing as hard as he ever has to ensure the team continues to have success.

“Eli genuinely loves playing football and because of that passion and that desire to play, his work ethic is top notch,” Lafayette coach Eric Robertson said.
