The Johns Hopkins football team has dominated the Centennial Conference in recent years. And that's continued this year as the Blue Jays have opened the season with three straight wins.
Hopkins' defense has allowed just 47 points in those three victories and one of the standouts so far on that unit has been junior Dan Johnson (Westminster).
Johnson is tied for second on the team with 16 tackles, three of which were for a loss. He also has an interception, a sack, and a pass deflection.
On Saturday, the Jays play Muhlenberg, which finished second to Hopkins in the conference a year ago.
