Atlantic senior Bodie Johnson recently announced that he has committed to play football at Northwestern College in Orange City. Johnson officially signed with the Raiders on Wednesday in a ceremony at the Atlantic High School. Johnson narrowed his final choices down to Northwestern, Simpson, Waldorf, Wartburg, and a few others before deciding on Northwestern. He said he just felt very welcomed when he visited the Raiders program.

As a fullback on offense Johnson carried the ball 85 times for 567 yards and 9 touchdowns this season for Atlantic. Johnson was also a stalwart on defense for the Trojans at Linebacker, finishing second on the team with 44.5 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, and 1 sack. Johnson also had three interceptions in his senior season and took two of those back for scores. Johnson said the Northwestern staff sees him fitting in at outside linebacker.

Johnson said he is just ready to get to work with the Raiders and earn some playing time early, which is something he feels like he can do.

The Raiders went 8-1 this fall, winning their final 8 after opening with a loss at powerhouse Morningside. Listen to the full interview below.
