Franklin heavyweight looking to make deep state run
1/1/21 3:21 AM
On a team loaded with talented senior wrestlers, junior Jacob Johnson is one sizeable look at both the present and future for 10th-ranked Franklin.
Johnson, a state finalist at 285 pounds last season, has built on that experience by gaining confidence and strength, and he’s currently ranked fifth in the state in his weight class.
He takes a spotless 12-0 record into the Class 3A state duals tournament on Saturday, an event being hosted by the Grizzly Cubs. Johnson, who lost in the opening round of the state finals at Bankers Life Fieldhouse and finished his sophomore season with a 32-10 record, placed fifth at sectional as a ninth-grader and has a career record of 61-23.
