Florida State jumps into recruitment for blue-chip Georgia talent

After earning 10+ offers this year, Johnson is quickly seeing his offer sheet grow.

Johnson has been to Tennessee twice this offseason. The Florida Gators, Miami Hurricanes, and Oregon Ducks are some other programs that have joined his recruitment this year.

The 5-foot-10, 150-pound cornerback is regarded as the No. 228 overall prospect, the No. 30 CB, and the No. 29 recruit in Georgia in the 2027 class according to the 247Sports composite ratings.

The Next Step For Florida State In This Recruitment

It'll be crucial for Florida State to get Johnson on campus in the near future. Tennessee, Florida, and Georgia appear to have all made impressions on him.

The Seminoles have a history of producing elite defensive backs. They've placed three cornerbacks in the NFL since last year (Jarrian Jones, Renardo Green, Azareye'h Thomas). That gives FSU something it can sell to potentially interest Johnson.

Regardless, getting a blue-chip recruit in town is normally the first step to begin rising in their respective recruitment.
