Michigan State football signee shows off athleticism with an insane dunk (Video)

Michigan State football signee Rakeem Johnson may be an offensive lineman, but he’s still incredible athletic.

I don’t know about you, but I love getting recruits who are talented in multiple sports. The most recent notable Michigan State football star who was gifted in multiple sports is none other than Keon Coleman. There’s apparently another one on the way.

Now this future Spartan football player won’t be playing basketball at MSU, but he is proving to be a force as a senior for his high school team.

Three-star offensive lineman Rakeem Johnson

Rakeem Johnson is a three-star interior offensive lineman in the 2024 class. He is from Boise, Idaho, and was originally committed to play at Oregon State, that is until Jonathan Smith made the move to East Lansing. He followed Smith, officially committing to Michigan State on Dec. 19.

Johnson is a very talented football player and is the No. 2 prospect from the state of Idaho. However, you all came here for a play on the hardwood, so here is Rakeem throwing down a vicious dunk in a recent high school basketball game.

As I mentioned before, I love it when Michigan State gets recruits who are multi-sport athletes. But this play stands out to me more than others as it shows elite athleticism for an offensive lineman. It’s not very often that you see an offensive lineman with this much athleticism. Sure, most D1 linemen can probably dunk a basketball, but can many dunk on a defender in transition? I would guess not.

Johnson went on to finish the play by hitting his free throw as well.

Rakeem will join his future teammates in East Lansing later this summer. I, for one, am excited to see how he develops knowing just how athletic he is.
