4-star 2020 pro-style QB Max Johnson announced on Wednesday that he was committing to the Tigers — an interesting decision from former Georgia coach (and current Miami coach) Mark Richt’s nephew.
As you can see below, Johnson made his decision on Twitter, thanking his uncle for being the first to offer him a scholarship:
