"Markus is an incredible young man and absolutely deserving of this recognition," Warriors' Interim Head Coach Kary Hadden shared when he learned of Johnson's accomplishment. "He is exactly the kind of student-athlete we strive to have in our program, and I'm so proud to have him with our group."
This year's NAIA Men's Wrestling Scholar-Athlete list contains over 200 student-athletes from 58 different schools across the country. In order to be nominated by an institution's head coach or sports information director, a student-athlete must maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale, must appear on the eligibility certificate for the sport and have attended one full year at said institution.
Johnson earned himself a spot on the Scholar-Athlete list after performing exceedingly well in the classroom over the past three years, posting a cumulative GPA of 3.63 to lead the team academically. This past season, Johnson worked incredibly hard as one of the Team Managers for the program, attending practices and traveling with the team to help Coach Hadden and the rest of the coaching staff in preparing for every meet.
