    Four-star WR Kelshaun Johnson locks in two official visits

    Hitchcock (Texas) High 2025 wide receiver and OnTexasFootball 4-star Kelshaun Johnson has locked in two official visit dates, and a third date could follow soon. 

    Johnson, 5-11 and 165, told OnTexasFootball that he has official visits locked in for Penn State May 31-June 2 and Texas Tech June 7-9. The Nittany Lions have been all in on the Houston area speedy playmaker since offering June 21, 2023. That includes multiple FaceTime calls with head coach James Franklin. Texas Tech is leaning on teammate and good friend Lloyd Jones. Jones, 6-3, 210, committed to the Red Raiders November 4, 2023. 

    Johnson told OnTexasFootball that he is also in discussions with Texas and Kansas about June official visits. The Longhorns' staff has mentioned the last weekend in June. That would be the big recruiting weekend for the Longhorns. 

    The Longhorns offered Johnson June 11, 2023 after a standout camp performance. Wide receivers coach Chris Jackson, area recruiter Blake Gideon and head coach Steve Sarkisian have remained in constant communication since that time. He attended Texas Junior Day January 20, as well as Texas A&M Junior Day January 27. OnTexasFootball continues to feel like Texas is in a very good spot headed into the spring evaluation period. 

    Johnson is up to 23 offers after Florida, Utah, Houston, TCU, Arkansas and UTEP in January. 

    Johnson is currently on the hardwood for the defending 3A State Champions. He will focus on track after the conclusion of basketball season. He posted a personal best of 10.49 (wind-aided) in the 100 meters last spring.

    I must admit that hearing how some high school peckerwood is "in discussions" on whether he'll take an "official" visit leaves me cold. Far as I'm concerned, I don't care. I know that's not where the recruiting world is at, but it sure does make you long for the days when wannabes couldn't dictate millions of dollars. It's our fault for spending the money that creates the situation in the first place. I personally don't, but I'm not the whole.

    Gerry, Sam flipped his RPM/CB from Texas to Texas Tech for Chad Woodfork. Is he leaning TT? WHAT'S you take?

    I’m same as I have been … Woodfork is one of the EDGE prospects Texas continues to evaluate. Along with Smith Orogbo from Hastings 

    Texas really likes Kamauryn Morgan at Dallas SOC too.

    I’ll take Morgan and for the love of God, can we get an OV with Kelshuan?  I hope we get him in on the last weekend in June.

    Different level of speed. No surprise Tech and McGuire are going to try and take advantage of a talented year in state. I bet they have the highest rated B12 recruiting class again 

     

    Besides Johnson, what WR target is Texas is the best spot for right now? Obviously it is still very early

    Marcus Harris if Texas makes big push. 

    That's what so much depends on for me ...

    Tanook Hines - if they push in spring

    Emmanuel Choice - if they push in spring 

    Jacorey Watson - if they push in spring

     

    Texas is in it for sure for Dakorien Moore. 

    Working to catch up on Kaliq Lockett.

    Good athlete and playmaker. 

     

    Tom Herman would've enjoyed recruiting Jones into his offense

    For sure. Interesting note from my visit to Hitchcock Monday for the game ... Texas A&M is recruiting Lloyd Jones seriously now.
