Which Tackle spot does Johnson play? I know BA has another good tackle in Bryce Mathews. It looks like he'll be a little tougher to pull.

Brentwood offensive linemen Ryan Johnson and Bryce Mathews camped with Don Mahoney today and both seemed to really like how Mahoney coached. Johnson is expected back this weekend for the Orange Carpet Day, making it the fourth or fifth time he's been on campus this spring.

Both made it clear they camped today to get to experience Mahoney's coaching style and both felt comfortable.

So will Brentwood give up any sacks the next two years? How often do you see two tackles on a HS team with their offers. Ridiculous how Nashville is exploding in talent and I love it

“I got a chance to see how Coach ‘Mo’ coaches and get to experience that, and I really enjoyed that[.]

“They really liked me up there. They thought I did really good,” said Johnson, who received his first scholarship offer from Tennessee in February and now holds five offers. “They especially liked my pro-agility (drill) — they told me that — so I got good comments on that.”

“I mean, they’re definitely up there,” said Johnson, who also claims offers from Alabama, Ole Miss, Mississippi State and Kansas State. “I really like their program. I think it’s a great program, and I really like how they’re all a family down there. I really like the school in general. But right now I’m still keeping my options open. I’m not saying one team’s in front of the other.”

Received an offer from Bama last Saturday after his camp performance in Tuscaloosa.

No, Mathews would be the one who would likely take a strong look at A&M. Both do play T for BA though. Last I saw Mathews still did not have an offer from A&M and he does not show having visited them. Seems kind of slow playing a talented legacy, but I'm cool with it if they want to. Maybe by them doing so he decides to follow Johnson to Tennessee. :loco:

"I just want to take it slow right now, make sure I make the right decision," Johnson said. "I really feel like I need to sleep on a decision. "I don't want to make just a split-second decision about that. I want to think about it."

"We came in and they took a bunch a pictures of us and interviewed us," Johnson said. "It was fun. I played ping pong and did ok. I played corn hole and my dad beat me at that. "I really got a chance to hang out with some of the other recruits and some of the players," he added. "I had a good time."

Tennessee's 'Orange Carpet' events were far from the ordinary on the recruiting trail, with minimal football talk involved, which Johnson added he "got out of the way" while camping with Tennessee. "Actually, I haven't had a school actually have a day like this," Johnson said. "This is pretty unique to Tennessee. This is pretty cool. "I don't think I've ever been somewhere where they had this kind of day." And it could be a big factor going forward. "Definitely," he said. "The more time you spend at a school, no matter where it is, the more you build relationships with the coaches and the players."

Johnson is teammates with fellow 2016 offensive tackle Bryce Mathews at Brentwood Academy, and said the idea of the two playing together at the next level could be realistic. "It's a huge possibility for us," Johnson said. "We both realize there's only two tackle spots at a school, and sometimes that doesn't always work out. "But us being such great friends, that would be a huge, huge thing for us."

Hope we get both. Would be helpful with this 2016 class to get two solid OT from the state and in Nashville. Would be a start to an awesome class

Agree 100%.

Much like it was huge to get Stewart and Jones onboard very early for 2015. The sooner you lock in your OL/DL guys, the better.
