Thomas Johnson Decommits From Texas Longhorns And Will Visit Oregon Ducks
Texas loses receiver recruit Thomas Johnson.
The 5’11”, 175 pound Johnson is all about speed. He’s extremely elusive in the open field and his quickness off the lines makes it very difficult to play press coverage against him.
Texas recruiting expert Wescott Eberts on the story:
Multiple reports that Skyline WR Thomas Johnson has de-committed from Texas. Will visit Oregon, Cal, TCU.
Expect Texas to take another look at Baylor commit Corey Coleman and TCU commit Daje Johnson. Will likely offer one of them.
The real story here seems to be Oregon. Rumors swirled all week during the Under Armour All-America game that Johnson wanted to visit Oregon. He confirmed those rumors earlier in the week.
Eberts’ tweets also suggests that Johnson will not recommit to Texas, though SB Nation has been unable to confirm that.
