    ENGLEWOOD, N.J. –  Dontae Johnson doesn’t keep a calendar or a daily planner with him, but with all the events he’s involved with at the Pennington (N.J.) School, you would think he should.

    Johnson, a 6-foot-3, 185-pound senior, is a captain on both the football and basketball teams. As a safety, he holds more than a dozen Division I scholarship offers in football and said he has narrowed his list to Stanford, NC State, Maryland, UConn and North Carolina.

    He will also serve as a hall proctor for the second year in a row, and this year he opted to join the Peer Leadership Program. Oh, and he maintains a 3.7 grade point average, too.

    Read the full story here.
