With the same last name, I'm guessing the LB is his brother or cousin?

Here's Thomas Johnston's recruiting profile:

Has offers from Clemson, LSU, Iowa, Arkansas, and other P5 teams so that would obviously be a monster get if got him.

The LB is class of 2017 so we've got a ways to go before then.

Brother.

Sweet! This guy seems like a winner! I'm so ready to get these commitments signed!

When is the last time UAB had a QB who threw for over 10,000 yards in his HS career? Even more impressive, he nearly missed an entire year from knee injury. Impressive numbers to say the least.

Huge get!!!!

Yep. And at a fairly high level too. Clark is doing something we've never seen before. I really am beginning to not see any reason why we can't be competitive right away when 2017 finally arrives.

Brother.

Does the timing work out so the brothers could play four years here together?

Also he didn't play QB until his sophomore year.

So he essentially put up those numbers in just a little more than 2 years?

For the most part... He's a good pickup for us and definitely very underrated. He led his 5A (undefeated) team to a state championship as a sophomore and was injured as a junior; he's now undefeated as a senior in 6A.

They have won all of the games that he's played at QB.

Edit: He played 15 games as a sophomore, 5 games as a junior, and 14 as a senior going into the Clay-Chalkville Championship game on Friday (34 games total).

Coach can recruit...

Impressive. Well that equates then to an average of 300+ yards passing and nearly 4 TDs per game.
