The Sacred Heart High School (SHHS)/CAB Clothing September Male Athlete of the Month, Dylan Johnson, is a member of the Senior Saints Football team where he plays on both offensive line and defensive line.
His aggressive play on defense has put him among the team's tackle leaders. He has also intercepted a pass for a touchdown, a rare feat for a defensive lineman.
Johnson is also a strong offensive player who, as the year progressed was given more and more responsibility, from blocker to pass receiver and even running the ball out of the backfield.
He picks up the plan quickly and is always willing to help out the younger players.
Johnson has become a leader this year. He demands team mates follow his example of hard work and full effort with his no plays off attitude.
He truly embodies the spirit of Saints football, hard nosed and aggressive.
