Four-star WR Kelshaun Johnson narrows top schools down to 10

Four-star WR Kelshaun Johnson has made the first big cut in his recruitment.

Johnson, a speedy On300 WR from the talented state of Texas, narrowed his top schools down to 10.

Texas, USC, Texas Tech, Penn State, Texas A&M, Arkansas, TCU, Florida, Kansas and Tennessee made the cut for Johnson, the On3 Industry Ranking’s No. 24-ranked wide receiver in the 2025 recruiting class out of Houston (Texas) Hitchcock High School.

Johnson made January visits in-state to both Texas and Texas A&M. The Houston-area four-star WR was on hand for the Longhorns’ star-studded junior day on Jan. 20. Steve Sarkisian also visited Hitchcock High School last month to check on the vertical playmaker. Johnson also met in person with Mike Elko and co. on Jan. 27 for the first time during a junior day visit. The 2025 WR was coveted by the previous Texas A&M staff as well.

Texas is the early leader on the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine for the 5-foot-11, 170-pounder.

Kelshaun Johnson lines up first visit for the spring

After making two big stops in-state to check out the Longhorns and the Aggies last month, Johnson has one visit already squared away for the spring.

The four-star WR is scheduled to return to Texas on April 6 for the Longhorns’ spring practice, he tells On3. In addition to getting back to The Forty Acres, Johnson is expected to return to Texas A&M and head out West to see USC for spring practices.

Johnson is tabbed as the No. 201 overall prospect in the country, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is rated as the No. 24 WR in the class and the No. 30 overall player out of the state of Texas in the 2025 recruiting cycle.
