SAN ANTONIO – Student-athletes across the 210 area code signed their financial aid agreements, formerly known as National Letters of Intent, on Wednesday’s National Signing Day to continue their careers at the collegiate level.
At Johnson High School, 11 athletes locked in their commitments.
The Jaguars’ softball team was well represented with four signees.
“I’ve been waiting for this day ever since I saw my sister sign to McMurry University back in 2018,” said Johnson senior pitcher Mackenzie Morgan. “I’ve been waiting for this day for years.”
Johnson’s girls’ basketball team had three players signing.
“Our program’s really good, and we’ve all grown to play the game of basketball together and I think this is very exciting for us three,” said Jaguars senior point guard Latisha Ornelas.
“It means the world to me that I get to share this experience with those that I love, people that are going to cheer me on, and that will hopefully get to see me play at the next level,” said Johnson senior forward and 2026 San Antonio Sports All-Star Sara McFarlin.
The Jaguars’ golf, baseball and track and field programs each had one athlete put pen to paper.
The softball signees were:
- Cadance Lagasse to Lake Erie College
- Emily Kaman to Biola University
- Alexis Perez to Western Texas College
- Mackenzie Morgan to Prairie View A&M
The girls’ basketball signees included:
- Mackenzie Donald to Grayson College
- Sara McFarlin to Schreiner University
Other Johnson signees:
- Ella Pilgrim (golf) to Fort Lewis College
- Cade Pantuso (baseball) to Hill Junior College
- Aniyah Gill (track and field) to Dallas Baptist University
Right down the road at San Antonio Christian School, the Lions had two of their top athletes take center stage for National Signing Day.
Senior offensive tackle Elijah Brown is Ivy League bound and will play center for the Yale Bulldogs next season.
“It’s incredible. I woke up and it’s like it’s nothing I’ve ever felt before,” said Brown. “Everybody telling me congratulations and calling me Mr. Yale and what not. It’s a really cool experience.”
“It’s really just a culmination of all the work I put in over the last five, six years to get to this point. It’s a really big moment for me and my family, because everything I’ve ever done has worked up to this exact moment.”
Lions senior pitcher Brianna Vick is headed out east to join the program at Hofstra University.
“It’s been a very long journey through softball,” said Vick. “I’ve done this since I was very little and have traveled everywhere for it. Signing Day is super exciting.”
