"Johnson, a star linebacker at Gainesville who is committed for the Vols class of 2011, was particularly taken aback. He heard about it when in the locker room after playing a basketball game Tuesday night.
I kept hearing little and rumors and stuff about Coach Orgeron maybe going to Southern Cal. But I talked to him like a week or two ago and he said there wasnt anything to it, Johnson said. So when I heard it tonight, I was like, for real? I said, oh well, I guess Im de-committing then. I guess Im open.
