Johnson originally committed to the Razorbacks back in June of 2022. After Hugh Freeze became the HC at Auburn, Johnson officially received an offer. Johnson visited the Tigers officially on December 16.
Johnson is rated as the 147th-best DL prospect and the 130th-best prospect out of Georgia. After the additions of Sylvester Smith and Stephen Johnson, the Tigers’ 2023 class has improved to No. 32.
The Tigers will need contributions from the 2023 freshman class as they seek to improve on a disappointing 5-7 2022 season.
