The 6-foot-2, 185-pound receiver out of Chaparral High School in Southern California is ranked the No. 46 recruit in his home state and the No. 60 wide receiver in his class, according to 247Sports’ rankings.

ASU wide receivers coach Hines Ward and head coach Kenny Dillingham played a large part in him picking the Sun Devils.

“There were a lot of reasons why I chose ASU but the biggest was the coaching staff,” Johnson told Greg Biggins of Rivals. “I really like coach (Kenny) Dillingham and coach (Hines) Ward and love the energy that both of them have.

“Coach Ward is one of the best coaches out there to help develop me and it show in his work. There’s not many people who accomplished as many things as he did at the next level, and I can’t wait to play for him.”

Johnson is the third hard commit for ASU football in the class of 2027, joining four-star wide receiver Nico Bland and four-star quarterback Weston Nielsen, respectively.
