Johnson was previously committed to Arizona for eight months before decommitting at the end of the season. USC is currently listed as the leader per 247Sports, but Oregon could make a major play here at the end. Johnson mentioned in his Rivals interview that he doesn't know much about new Oregon head coach Willie Taggart, so Taggart will have a real chance to impress right before signing period comes around.

According to the 247Sports Composite, Johnson is the No. 1 athlete of the 2017 class.
