Add Another Linebacker

I just emailed the subscriber who sent me a link to another recruit and told him I'd blog it tomorrow. But when you find a name you haven't previously come across it's a little like Dec. 24 and awfully hard to wait. So ...

Add Washington D.C., linebacker Alex Johns of Gonzaga to the list of commits. Johns is 6-foot-3, 215 pounds and also played defensive end. His decision to attend Dartmouth was reported on the DC SportsFan.com site -- among other places that I missed ;-). The same site named him to its first DCSportsFan.com 2006 All-Conference Team. You can find a few particulars about him on this "cache" of the Rivals Stanford recruiting site. ...

Here's what the DC Sports Fan site said about him in its preseason capsule of the Gonzaga team:

Johns is a huge part of Gonzaga’s defense. A returning starter, Johns is being recruited by a number of colleges from the Ivy League, the Patriot League, and the Atlantic 10. He made a big name for himself this summer in the Nike Combine and Coach Lucas called him a ‘mainstay’ on defense. He should also see time at tight end.
