News of Alumni: Johnson Bademosi ’08

Johnson Bademosi ’08 is a special teams player and reserve cornerback for the New England Patriots this season. He was recently featured in an ESPN.com article in which he talked about his “football journey,” including his years at Gonzaga.

“It’s a lot like BC High,” he said about Gonzaga, “an all-boys Jesuit school. Some of my best friends are from there, and I had so much fun playing football there, playing rugby, running track. It was an amazing experience. My freshman year, we had to go to a place called Soldiers Home, because we didn’t have a field yet. So we had to drive over there, and just that experience, every day, and playing the rival high school, Georgetown Prep, that was always a lot of fun. And St. John’s. I don’t even remember who won all those games, but just the experience of being with your team, your friends, your classmates, and being a part of rivalries like that was a lot of fun.”
