Atlantic senior Bodie Johnson announced on social media Wednesday morning that he plans to continue his academic and football career at Northwestern College in Orange City.

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 had visited a number of small schools in Iowa before committing to Northwestern. The Raiders went 8-1 this fall, winning their final 8 after opening with a loss at powerhouse Morningside.
