San Antonio Johnson is all about speed.
San Marcos found out the hard way last season, as the Jaguars jumped out to a 34-7 lead in the first quarter of the teams’ matchup on Sept. 7, 2018 inside Rattler Stadium. Though the hosts did find a way to slow the visitors down, outscoring them 21-14 the rest of the game, it was already too late to make a comeback.
A lot of Johnson’s top playmakers on offense return this year. Junior quarterback Ty Reasoner, who threw for 238 yards and four touchdowns against San Marcos, is back along with senior running back Justin Rodriguez, who added another 153 yards and two scores on the ground. The Jaguars’ second- and third-leading receivers remain as well in junior Shane Johnson and senior Jaren Randle, who caught 27 passes for 571 yards and six touchdowns combined last year. None of them run slower than a 4.7-second 40 yard dash. Most of the team’s starting offensive linemen graduated in the spring, but Johnson is hoping to rebuild around junior Evan Mailloux, who played at center and tackle.
