After committing to Clemson in June, four-star receiver Noble Johnson officially joined the Tigers program on Wednesday.

Johnson is rated as a four-star receiver and the No. 36 receiver in the country, according to On3. He is viewed as the No. 280 overall player in the nation.

Johnson worked out at a Clemson camp this summer and earned an offer from the Tigers. He committed to Clemson just a few days later.

“As soon as I stepped off the plane, I went to campus and they were welcoming me in and Dabo [Swinney] knew me by my first name. I thought: ‘That was crazy,’ but he went through exercises and the workout with me, pulling me to the side, giving me tips and walking me through stuff,” Noble Johnson previously said. “He taught me my wide receiver stance and my dad was taking pictures so I wouldn’t forget that moment. I love Coach [Tyler] Grisham. He’s an amazing guy and you can tell they’re not just there to build football players; they’re there to build you as a man and you’ll leave college as a good man.”

Johnson is one of four receivers to sign with Clemson on Wednesday, joining Ronan Hanafin, Tyler Brown and Misun Kelley.
