Nicolas Johnson, quarterback for Gardena Serra High, resumed throwing passes at a college showcase, a notable event considering his recovery from surgeries on both knees. Despite the challenges posed by his latest injury last November, Johnson remains determined to continue playing football, expressing his passion for the sport and dismissing thoughts of quitting. He recognizes potential genetic factors in his injuries, echoing the experiences of his older brother, Mossi Johnson, who also faced knee issues. He aims to start in the upcoming season opener, showcasing his resilience and dedication to the game.
He's had surgeries on both of his knees. "It's crazy," he said. Added coach Scott Altenberg: "He's the bionic man." Johnson's latest injury came last November. Some might have called it quits.
But Johnson said he's passionate about playing football and has no intention of calling it quits. "It's something you can't give up," he said.
He also knows the injuries might be genetic since his older brother, former Crenshaw and UCLA football player Mossi Johnson, had similar issues with his knees.
He deserves a standing ovation for perseverance.
