Who is Jeremiah Johnson?
Jeremiah Johnson is one of the players in the Youth National Football Championships that were held in Miami this month. The young star quickly went viral after he was pictured with a trophy he had won as the 12 and under MVP award. Johnson has an impressive moustache over his top lip and also appears to have a tattoo on his right forearm. Johnson also claims to stand at 5’11” and tips the scales at 198lbs. With his older looks and taller stance, fans automatically assumed he was a teenager. However, it wasn’t his impressive play or the amazing history of his school from Fort Worth, Texas that is exciting people. Social media “blew up” as folks from all over the country asked the same question, “How old are you?” and they all got the same one-word answer: “Twelve.”
Jeremiah Johnson currently plays for the Dallas Dragons Elite Academy (DEA). The Dallas Dragons Elite academy is dedicated to develop and promote minority youth athletes in the world of football. On the team, Jeremiah plays either a running back or offensive lineman. His school and team appear to be going from strength to strength – with the team going 20-0 this season and their star player taking the 12 (and under) Division 1 MVP award at the Youth National Champs. Even Miami Dolphins superstar Tyreek Hill was taken by surprise, saying he feared for his own son’s safety if he had to play against Johnson. Hill tweeted: “If that 12-year-old is really 12, my son ain’t playing football. These kids are built different.” The 12-year-olds social media profile suggests he is eligible for college in 2027 – but already supportive fans are promoting him to go all the way to the NFL. First up though, he has to do what any normal teenager has to do and start high school. Jeremiah’s mother, Shana Evans, took to Facebook to clear things up. Shana shared a photo of him, writing on Friday, “Check my baby out…. balling out @ Nationals!!! And, yes, people, my son is 12. “Yes, he’s on the 12 year old squad (he meets ALL of the requirements),” she wrote. “No the tattoo isn’t real (duh). Yes, the goatee is tho.”
High Humor from Football
Washington DC should name their football team the Lobbyists.
They never lose.
The despondent football coach bemoaned his team’s record. He said, “We can’t win on the road, we can’t win at home but the general manager and I cannot figure out where else to play.”
Football consists of 22 boys on the field desperately in need of a rest, and 40,000 adults in the stands desperately in need of exercise.
My wife just left me. She says life revolves around football and she’s sick of it.
I’m quite upset. We were together for 7 seasons.
