AJ Johnson Stays Home
quote:
LSU head coach Ed Orgeron and his staff have landed another commitment for the 2022 recruiting class, and once again, it's a Louisiana domino that drops.
On Friday, the Tigers reeled in a verbal commitment from Newman wide receiver AJ Johnson, who is ranked as one of the Top 15 prospects in a deep Louisiana class this cycle.
Johnson shut things down and committed to LSU's staff over offers from Georgia, Alabama, Florida State, Miami, Tennessee, Mississippi State, Virginia, and several others
LSU wide receivers coach Mickey Joseph and offensive analyst Carter Sheridan both played key roles in Johnson's recruitment.
"(Johnson) has that size with a big catch radius and is such a hard worker,” Newman head coach Nelson Stewart said. “You watch him just for a little bit and you quickly see why the college coaches jumped on him so fast.
“All the kids have really worked hard, but when you have kids like AJ and Arch leading the way it makes it easier for all to see hard work pays off."
In eight games as a junior this past season, Johnson became the top target for Newman quarterback and Top 100 prospect Arch Manning as he led the team with 33 catches for 481 yards and five touchdowns.

That's 2 commits from Arch's team now to LSU between him and Bordelon, certainly making a power play there for him

Coincidence? I think not.

I heard AJ is a close friend with Arch. They are a package deal and will play together in college.

AJ lives with Arch.

Can’t wait to watch Arch Manning lighting up Ole Miss secondaries playing for national champion coach Ed Orgeron at LSU.

Shut up Josh

Good get and great strategy by O. At this point, I fully expect Arch to either attend LSU or Bama. I have no knowledge of anything, obviously. It's just a feeling.
It is exciting seeing so many good offensive weapons commiting to SEC schools.

No chance in hell Arch goes to Bama. It’s either LSU, OM, or some other conference.

I have a funny feeling it’s not going to be ole miss, but he wouldn’t do that to the fam going to LSU either

He has some stuff going on personally. Sure he will end up somewhere decent.

Apparently he is moving to Florida.
Georgia may be a player here. He is a GA native and allegedly wanted to commit there, but the coaches wanted him to camp first. I'd expect that a visit to verify measurables and work out would be needed.
