One of the top players opposing teams key on when playing the Varina Blue Devils is Joseph “Jo-Jo” Johnson. A load at 6-2, 330 pounds, the all-state defensive tackle possesses quick feet and good speed. Though he only totaled three sacks and five tackles-for-loss last season as a junior, Johnson has the ability to rush the passer as well as clog running lanes.

This summer, Johnson is working hard to lower his weight while getting stronger in the weight room. He expects a dominating senior season.
