They caught my attention while I was there on the visit that I went on, when I visited for the junior day (March 8). Then, one of my good friends just committed there (running back) Rocky Reid and I was just thinking of all that they have to offer, and the fact that theyre back on the rise under Coach Butch (Jones), said Johnson, whos ranked the nations No. 121 overall prospect in the 2015 class by 247Sports.
I want to get into communications and being a sports anchor, and I heard theyre building a studio or whatever for the SEC Network there. And they said I could get an internship there and kind of cover other sports. I thought that could be really cool and interesting.
First of all, its the SEC, so it really dont get no bigger than that. And, second of all, that can help me get a steady foot into that occupation.
The thing that stands out the most to me, by far, is their fan base. Its insane, he said. It just, like, baffles me, really. I dont remember their record from the year before last year, but I dont think it was stellar or anything. But, year in and year out, they are with them, and they are packed every single game.
Johnson said hes planning to visit Texas, Florida, Florida State and Tennessee this summer, and hes interested in visiting Alabama and Auburn. He said he also just asked my coach to send off my film to Texas A&M, so Ill possibly visit down there while Im in Texas.
He said hes planning to wait at least until the fall to make his college choice.
I told myself, if I make an All-American game, Im going to announce at the game, Johnson said. But then I was like, well, Im just going to announce it whenever my (All-America) jerseys presented to me in front of the school.
