Detroit Mumford 2017 defensive end Greg Johnson will be the first one to tell you that he is no good at basketball. And 6-foot,-7 and 240-pounds, at first glance of him, you would expect him to be a basketball player. But, no, Johnson is a football player, and is getting better at it day-by-day.

Johnson is a relative unknown, but his long frame has begun to make it hard for college coaches to continue to look past him. He entered the weekend with zero offers, and exited with two, Eastern Michigan, and the latest from Toledo.

"I really didn't know I had it until my coach but it on Facebook," Johnson said of his Toledo offer. "But, after the camp, I talked to the Toledo head coach, and he took my number down, and said he and his coaching staff were going to talk it over about the offer. I guess they liked me."

"Eastern Michigan said I was a great kid, I'm a leader, and I'm a hard worker. They liked how long I am, and that I was everything there are looking for."

Along with receiving his first two offers, Johnson said he has also been hearing from Penn State, Michigan State, Bowling Green, Purdue, Kansas, Iowa, Syracuse, Northern Illinois, and Western Michigan. Finally getting some concrete attention on the recruiting trail excites Johnson, who is very optimistic about his future now.

"I feel great," said Johnson. "I really worked hard to get to this point, and I'm really looking forward to getting plenty more offers."

Johnson's path to success is in its early stages, but he is already thinking about the bigger picture. Football is just a stepping-stone for him, and he is using it as positive in his life to influence others in his family, and to make those they helped guide him this far in his journey proud.

"What really made me want to pursue football more, was that I always dreamed of being a big wide receiver in the NFL," he said. "Also I want to be a role model for my little brother. I know he looks up to me, and I have to pave the way for him. I always thought to myself that I had to become great for him, so when I get up there he can be like me.

"I also do this for my pops. Without him I wouldn't even have thought about football, and my Coach G (Deon Godfrey) too. There were a lot of times when I really wanted to just give up, but my coach showed me so much stuff that really opened my eyes on how much potential I have."

The work does not stop here though for Johnson, he plans to camp at Ferris State's satellite camp at Detroit East English Village Prep on Tuesday, Saginaw Valley State University on the 17th, Rutgers on the 18th, Syracuse on the 19th, and Grand Valley State University on the 23rd.
