This is going to be, like, my last real weekend with my family, and Ive made up my mind. Im going to go to Tennessee. I just went with my gut feeling on that. I mean, I had the chance to go on some more visits, but I really didnt feel the need to. Just by looking at the schools majors and looking at the situations, I just felt that Tennessee was the right place. I talked a lot about it with my dad and my uncles here, and they all felt the same way. "
Some of my uncles got the chance to meet (Vols defensive coordinator John) Jancek (last week), and we are set on Tennessee now. I dont think that anything could change my mind, he added. I just feel like Tennessees the right place.
It just confirmed what I already felt, Johnson said. I just absolutely love Coach Jones vision for the program, and Coach Thig, Ive been talking to him from pretty much Day One that Tennessees been recruiting me, so I kind of got to know him a little bit better. I just want to get out of high school now and get going with this. I just want to get in the dorm room and get up there to Knoxville and start practicing with the team.
Im definitely set on Tennessee. I cant really think of a scenario that would change my mind. ... I mean, thats the dream I always had. Playing in the SEC, it dont really get no better than that, Johnson said. Ive always dreamed of playing over here in America, and then I get a chance to play in the biggest league in college football with the team that has probably the most tradition in college football. This is like a dream to me. Its all so unreal to me. I cant even imagine coming up there in Knoxville on January 4th and really being there and doing this. Im just really excited.
