Long Beach Wilson’s Jagger Kohagura: The All-Around Threat

Long Beach Wilson High School tight end Jagger Kohagura is making a name for himself as a modern student-athlete who excels on and off the field. A rising senior with a 4.3 weighted GPA, Kohagura is as committed to his academics as he is to his athletic goals.

In an exclusive interview with RepMax Media, Kohagura shared his ambitious goal of scoring 10 touchdowns this season. He’s already off to a great start, recording two catches for 58 yards and a touchdown in the Bruins’ dominant 35-0 season-opening win. This performance proves he’s successfully transitioned from a primary blocking tight end to a legitimate receiving threat.

Kohagura, who models his game after NFL stars Rob Gronkowski and Brock Bowers, credits his transformation to a relentless offseason training regimen. “I only took one week off after the CIF championship game because I was back in the weight room 6 days a week,” he said.

This self-driven passion for football, which he discovered on his own without family influence, fuels his competitive spirit. He holds himself accountable and pushes through tough moments by imagining the disappointment of giving up.

When asked what he wants recruiters to remember most, Kohagura’s answer was simple: “the competitive spirit in every aspect of my game.” His dedication is clear through his consistent practice attendance and his commitment to being a reliable teammate and a coachable player who takes feedback constructively.

As he pursues his dream of playing in a packed stadium like LSU’s Tiger Stadium, Kohagura represents the kind of complete package—talent, character, and academic achievement—that college recruiters are looking for.
