THE HURRY UP: RECRUITING DEAD PERIOD ENDS WHILE WIDE RECEIVER JORDAN JOHNSON DISCUSSES RECENT VISIT

STARTING FRESH
Ohio State hosted hundreds of prospects last month for the aforementioned Frida Night Lights recruiting extravaganza, including St. Louis De Smet Jesuit four-star wide receiver Jordan Johnson.

“It was great,” Johnson told Eleven Warriors. “I loved the campus and the coaches.”

This was the first trip to campus for the 6-foot-2, 180-pound Johnson, who is considered the 11th-best wide receiver and No. 60 prospect overall in the Class of 2020. The Buckeyes offered back in late April.

Johnson had a scrimmage earlier that afternoon that forced him to miss a large portion of the camp, but he spent valuable time with the coaching staff and toured campus the following day. He grew particularly close that weekend with then-wide receivers coach Zach Smith, who was fired this week amid allegations of domestic abuse.

“It really sucks what happened to him. He was a big part of why I liked the visit,” Johnson said. “The energy and positivity he had and also the confidence he had in the program [stood out].”

Johnson holds more than 20 programs such as Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Iowa, Kansas State, Missouri, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Oregon, Penn State, Purdue and Wisconsin, but Ohio State made a significant jump in his recruitment that weekend. Smith’s departure seemingly resets that, though.

“Coach Smith was a big reason why I was considering Ohio State, so with him gone, it does kind of alter my opinion,” Johnson said. “But, I’m pretty sure the next guy they bring in will be a great fit, and I’d be happy to see who it is.”
