Johnson, who has yet to receive a star rating from 247Sports, has received three FBS offers to this point. Akron and Kent State have also extended offers to the Pennsylvania native.
Rivals has also yet to give Johnson a star rating.
Standing at 6’2” and weighing 205 pounds, Johnson has the physique to develop into a contributor for the Mountaineers in the future.
Stay tuned to The Voice of Morgantown for recruiting updates.
