Cali OL has local leader

Corona (Calif.) Santiago will be loaded next year and has established itself as one of the top programs in the SoCal region over the last few years. The team looks to have at least five high level Div I prospects and the top player on the board could be offensive lineman Jordan Johnson.

Johnson, 6-6, 310 pounds is one of the state's premier offensive lineman and a natural tackle prospect. He plays on the right side for Santiago and earned all-league honors as a junior.

Johnson shows up very well on film and is one of the most physical lineman we've seen. He plays with a mean streak and has the perfect temperament you look for in a big lineman. The Rivals 250 member has a nice frame and as he continues to gain strength and work on his overall athleticism, he could be an elite college player.

On the recruiting front, Johnson is still waiting for his first offer but is hearing from a host of schools.

"The main ones I'm hearing from are UCLA, Oregon, Arizona State, Washington, Washington State, Michigan, New Mexico, San Diego State and a few others that I can't recall right now.

"UCLA is my top school right now and I'm hoping to camp with them this summer. I also like Oregon, USC, ASU and Washington State a lot, that would be my top five. I want to camp with Oregon as well and will be attending the NIKE Camp at Stanford in May.

"I'm looking for a school with a strong football program, a good location and a school with strong academics. Right now, I'm training hard for the season and working out five to six days a week."
