Mahomet Family Dentistry Athlete of the Week: Luke Johnson

After coming back from a season-ending injury in 2021, junior Luke Johnson is making his presence known on the football field.

The 5’11” running back rushed for a career-high 337 yards on 28 carries on Sept. 9, nearly breaking a 2008 school record held by Andrew Brewer. He scored five touchdowns as the Bulldogs romped past Mount Zion, 49-14. 

Johnson opened the season with 22 running plays and 90 yards, scoring one touchdown in the Bulldogs first win against Morton. He also picked up 81 yards against Effingham.
