IN HIS OWN WORDS...
“I think it's been amazing, to be honest,” Johnson said. “It's happened faster than I expected. The first two offers were pretty cool. I understood getting those but after they started flowing in I was surprised because I just didn't have a whole bunch of film that I thought was good enough. Obviously coaches liked it but I think I can play way better than I have.”
Virginia Tech- “Right now I know they're not playing their best,” he said. “When my dad was there and they were in the Big East conference, I think were some of their better years along with when Mike Vick was there. I think they fell off a bit and we all understand that. Them recruiting me and in-state kids first, I think they're trying to make a statement for the 2023 class. To win, Virginia Tech needs to recruit Virginia kids and that could pay big dividends.”
Maryland- “I know it's a very wealthy area,” said Johnson. “I’ve been on campus once but I don't know too much about them yet. I need to do my research and go visit again. I know it's right around the corner.”
Virginia- “I think they're building a very good program at UVA,” he said. “I like their mentality and I also think they have some very good corners that have gone onto the next level, especially these last couple years. I was at a game a couple years ago and got to go in the locker room. That was a really good experience. I think they're building a good program and a new culture which is really big. I think they'll have a good season coming up this year.”
