Lane Kiffin is already breaking out some of the stops.

Johnson is ranked as the No. 2 pro-style passer in this JUCO class and plans to enroll in January at FAU. The Jacksonville native originally signed with FSU in 2015, but was dismissed from the school after video emerged of him striking a woman at a bar. Johnson becomes the 13th verbal commit for the Owls.
