The growth over the season was amazing and we went through a lot of adversity together.”

But I am going to keep working regardless. It will happen.”

What colleges have been recruiting you?
“I get DMs and messages from lots of programs but it is hard to tell at this point how real any of it is honestly. I am hoping in the off season to get some relationships formed with some of the coaches of the programs I think I can make an impact with.”

What school is recruiting you the hardest?
“I’m not sure if anyone is recruiting me hard yet. Most of it is coaches just trying to get to know me. It is a mixture of schools from the largest to smallest right now.

How do you feel your team has played?
“Our young team grew tremendously. I am proud of our resilience and never quit attitude. Our coaches continued to pour into us and we improved as the season went on. Our future is bright.”

“As a team we must improve on individual technique. I have challenged my teammates to work with personal skill coaches this offseason to build better muscle memory to collectively improve.”

What are the keys for your team being successful going forward?
“In my opinion, the key to our success in the future is consistency in our skill fundamentals. Our coaches put us in the proper position but we must execute.”

What school is recruiting you the hardest?
“As a first-year starter my junior year, colleges didn’t know I existed. My family and I chose to focus on recruitment once I won my position. Thereafter, the focus was to play well. The rest will follow.”

Have you made any college trips yet?
“I have only visited the University of Maryland thus far during a 7v7 team trip. I look forward to future college visits throughout 2023.”

Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“My parents are alumni of The Ohio State University so naturally I was born a fan. However, my future college decision will depend entirely on development and opportunity. My goal is to play at least three full seasons to reach 1,100+ pass attempts.”

How did the high school football season go overall?
“Was proud of our team having moved up a classification and losing several guys. Although we didn’t have the ending we wanted to, including my hip injury the last two games, our seniors showed how valuable and talented they are to BT and our team returning is young, hungry and experienced now!”

What are your plans now with sports and workouts?
“Now that my hip injury has calmed, we will be lifting, speed training, starting 7v7 soon and establishing next year’s team and individual goals.”

How do you feel your team will do next football season?
“As a sophomore, I’m blessed to have been able to play with such a talented group of seniors this year. What’s even more exciting is how very young our returning team is! Our talent will show now that we all have had the experience of this year, that even the move up to 6A won’t stop us from achieving greatness. I play with some of the best athletes in the country hands down and I believe we’re ready and will be a hard team to stop.”

What team do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule?
“The hardest team on our schedule is definitely Roswell. After the result last year, which definitely hurt, it’s motivation to come back and show them we’re ready to compete and believe we will win.”

Have you made any college trips yet?
“I was most recently on the field at the University of Florida vs South Carolina game, but have been to many campuses, camps and 7v7 tournaments. Growing up in California, my interests are definitely nationwide.”

Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“My mom and dad were both athletes at UGA so I definitely grew up and continue to be a die-hard Bulldog. We watch every game and it’s an awesome memory. My dad also studied at Stanford so we like them a lot too. I’ve always loved watching Texas and UNC also.”

How did the high school football season go overall?
“We had a solid season as a team overall finishing 8-4 and coming just short of the state finals in an overtime loss. It was a very successful season. In my first year as the starter I performed well and finished at the top of the 2025 passing yard leaders.”

“I think our team will start to get more recognition next year and continue to improve. We are expecting big things.”

What team do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule?

Who is the toughest individual player your team will face off against?
“The running back for Lee County will probably be one of our toughest opponents because of his ability to find the holes. Also Antwann Hill from Hoco because of his ability to keep possession of the ball and not create many turnovers.”

Q&A with Johns Creek quarterback Michael McClellan
How did the high school football season go overall?
“We just finished up our season and it was a rough one. We lost 30 seniors from our 9-3 season year and brought in an entirely new coaching staff, so we struggled this year playing a lot of ranked opponents. But I am proud of the team. The growth over the season was amazing and we went through a lot of adversity together.”

What are your plans now with sports and workouts?
“My offseason plan is focused on continuing to improve my mechanics working with my trainer Sean McEvoy, getting stronger and faster through my workouts, and I also will be throwing discus for track as I set my school record last year and now, I plan to win division.”

How do you feel your team will do next football season?
“I am excited about next year – I have some great receivers coming back – Kyle Vaka and Taz Smith are ballers and we’re all back for our senior seasons.”

What team do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule?
“We play in a loaded AAAAAA division in Georgia so we have to face teams like Roswell, Alpharetta, Blessed Trinity each year and they always come to play.”

Who is the toughest individual player your team will face off against?
“Not sure honestly.”
