Winning two straight state championships will garner you attention – and for River Hill's football program that attention has turned in to more attention from Division I-A programs.

Defensive back Kevin Johnson became the first Hawk in the class of 2010 to receive an official offer.

The 5-foot-10, 160-pound Johnson received an offer from Wisconsin last week, according to River Hill assistant coach Til Campanaro.

"I was real excited," Johnson said of his first offer. "I didn't really belive it at first, but now I know all my hard work paid off. Now I'm just trying to get more.”

Johnson is being recruited by Wisconsin defensive back coach Kerry Cooks.

"He [Cooks] said I  had great hips and I'm physical for my size," Johnson said. "They said they want me to get my weight up a little bit."

The Wisconsin offer somewhat changes Johnson's spring plans. Now the junior will make a point to visit the Madison campus. Johnson said he also plans to visit Wake Forest this spring. Johnson will also attend the Nike Penn State Camp in Charlottesville (Va.).

The Hawks had three division I-A recruits for the class of 2009: Michael Campanaro (Wake Forest), Leron Eaddy (Central Michigan) and Malek Redd (Central Michigan).
