Watch full highlights at the end of this story.

Johnson Recruitment

Michigan extended an offer to Johnson during the winter contact period and is making him a top priority at the wide receiver position next cycle.

U-M wide receivers coach Ron Bellamy is leading the way in this recruitment and is off to a strong start as Johnson made his first trip to Michigan in September.

Here is what Holland had to say about Johnson’s recruitment.

“Michigan needs more size in the wide receiver room,” Holland said. “The Wolverines landed Jacob Washington and Jacob Browder this cycle, but they were the first wide receivers over 6-foot-3 to side with Michigan since Darrius Clemons, who is no longer with the program, and Amorion Walker back in the 2022 cycle. Johnson definitely offers size at 6-foot-3, 180 pounds. He can go up and get it, but he also bends well getting in and out of breaks and showed some explosiveness when I saw him. Michigan hosted him for his first visit in September and made a strong impression. He is looking to get back to campus at some point this offseason.”

Along with Michigan, Johnson, who led Oscar Smith to a Virginia state championship as a junior this season, holds offers from Auburn, Florida, Miami, Penn State, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas A&M and others.

At 6-foot-3, 180 pounds, Johnson is ranked as the No. 21 wide receiver and No. 136 overall prospect nationally, per the On3 Industry Ranking. He is also ranked as the No. 6 overall recruit in the state of Virginia for next cycle.

Penn State has the early lead on the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine with a 31.4 percent chance of landing him. West Virginia is in second place with a 16.7 percent chance of landing him. Miami is in third place with a 9.7 percent chance of landing him. Michigan is tied with several schools for fourth place with a 4.2 percent chance of landing him.

Michigan currently holds two commitments in its 2026 recruiting class — On300 Jacksonville (Fla.) Mandarin cornerback Brody Jennings and three-star Dallas (Texas) Parish Episcopal wide receiver Jaylen Pile.

Michigan’s 2026 recruiting class is currently ranked No. 34 nationally and No. 11 in the Big Ten, per the On3 Industry team recruiting rankings.
