Orhian Johnson is familiar with Tennessee’s successful history.

The athlete from Boca Ciega High School in Gulfport, Fla., has grown up following the three big in-state schools: Florida, Florida State and Miami. But he’s also seen plenty of UT.

Johnson said he’s become familiar with the Vols by watching them win the 1998 National Championship and battling SEC East rival Florida each year.

“Seeing that rivalry all the time was a great thing,” he said. “They played Florida State in the national title game and pulled out the win. Florida State had a great team and Tennessee went out and played better and got the win.”

Johnson has received strong interest from UT but is still waiting on a scholarship offer. He currently lists offers from Ohio State, South Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Florida International, Western Kentucky and Connecticut. He said he’s also received interest from Ole Miss.

"Florida is already pretty loaded, so they are seeing which position I could play," Johnson said. "I think they might recruit me as a defensive back or perhaps a wide receiver." Johnson will unofficially trip to Ohio State for the Michigan State game on Oct. 20.

Sports: Jefferson 34, Boca Ciega 16

Published November 17, 2007

ST. PETERSBURG - With a decisive win over Boca Ciega behind him, Jefferson head coach Mike Fenton was already looking forward to next weeks Class 4A state playoff game against Plant.

"I wanted to play Plant," Fenton said. "They have a great program. It gives us a chance to come and shock the state champions."

Boca Ciega seemed up to the challenge early. On the Pirates second play, quarterback Orhian Johnson completed a 54-yard pass to Ja-Vonta Trotter setting up a 25-yard Randall Klafter field goal.

But the momentum shifted in Jefferson's favor quickly as quarterback Zack Grossi threw touchdown passes of 57 and 58 yards to open receivers. A 4-yard touchdown run by Mark Winters gave the Dragons 20 unanswered points in the first half.
