4-star++ DL James Johnson announcement thread Miami (Fla.) Northwestern 4-star++ defensive lineman James Johnson is scheduled to announce his commitment today with a decision expected to come down to Georgia, Texas and maybe Miami. The 6-foot-2, 275-pound quick disruptor made official visits to Georgia (May 30-June 1), Miami (June 6-8), Florida (June 13-15) and Texas (June 20-22). Headed into the Texas OV, OTF was told it was 55-45 Georgia leading Texas. Johnson, who made his OV to Texas on his birthday weekend, had a tremendous visit with his mom and at that point it was seen as a neck and neck battle. Early in the week, there was more Georgia chatter than Texas with Miami still fighting. On Thursday, there was a little more Texas chatter. As we head into decision day, this is a recruitment that Texas has gone all in for all week. Johnson transferred to Northwestern High in the spring from North Fort Myers High. Johnson has known Texas lean and 4-star++ DL Kendall Guervil (Fort Myers, Fla./High) for years, as well as Texas freshman defensive lineman Myron Charles (Port Charlotte, Fla./High). Johnson sports an 82-inch wingspan and 10 inch hands. His explosivity on the football field translates to track and field with a 58'0" shot put to his credit as a junior.

Hampton remains the best HS DL I have seen, and best at Texas at the position ... and it's not even close. Great player with the best DL motor I have ever seen

Yes. Michigan, but Texas will stay on him

Atkinson should be early July Groce works out at WR a lot with Margin Hooks. Not a guy Texas showed much interest in

Well done! Haha

Thursday recruiting update 1. OTF still likes where Texas sits with 4-star++ DL Kendall Guervil 2. OTF likes Georgia more for 4-star+ S/LB Chace Calicut 3. OTF believes 4-star++ DL James Johnson could go either way. 4. OTF likes where Texas sits with 5-star OT John Turntine III 5. Confidence remains for Texas with 5-star LB Xavier Griffin. OTF will continue to check to see if that remains, of course. 6. OTF likes where Texas sits with OT Felix Ojo. Early July decision likely. 7. 4-star++ CB Samari Matthews could go wither way with Texas and South Carolina. A little more Longhorns chatter today. 8. Texas very much in it with 4-star++ DB Davon Benjamin. Oregon is all in, however. This one could play out another month or so.

Thank you sir!

Closer to DeAndre Moore for me But I can see people saying Greathouse. He's got a thicker frame

lol If it's 8 inches tall and 4 inches in width ... wouldn't have the same affect

In!

For those wondering, Texas wanted Damari Simeon

Don't think it's a coincidence he made the trip. You are who you roll with ... Texas is making sure Nick rolls with the correct people in order to maximize his huge potential

Texas remains all in on Kendall Guervil and James Johnson ... They will take 5 if they get the right guys. But Georgia is trying to do the same with James Johnson

Yep. Certainly possible ... they just need to get in playoffs this year and grow

Two most popular draft night on social media ... Cooper Flagg Dylan Harper's mom lol

Spurs drafted very well last night IMO. They are positioning pretty well to start ascending.

San Antonio Spurs got a very good player in terms of fit They are building

Dude is wearing dress jorts on the most important night of his life … bad advice And I say that as a big fan of Tre

I’ll start … worst dressed Tre Johnson

Still quite a bit of confidence with Guervil

Texas had been trending for Damari Simeon (Richland, NJ/St. Augustine) since the earlier June OV, and up until last night. That has now changed today. Barring a change, OTF believes the Horns will not likely be the pick June 27.

The latest on the Large Human Flyin Hawaiian ... Per a source close to the recruitment, this is a Michigan v Texas decision on the 27th. Neither Georgia or Bama have confidence as of today. As OTF first reported this morning, the family plans to move to the state where Malakai plays in college. There is a family in the DFW area already. Michigan has been working from a position of strength since the spring. If there is one minus for them, the family isn't super stoked about the cold weather and winters. But not sure that's a deciding factor in today's day and age of recruiting. This will not be a NIL only decision. There is more in play. Lee can envision himself at Texas. Nather Texas nor Michigan have been informed of a decision behind the scenes as of this morning.

Good chance 4-star++ James Johnson makes a decision prior to July 2, as of today
