4-star Louisiana DB Ju'Juan Johnson locks in commitment date

2024 Lafayette Christian (La.) athlete Ju’Juan Johnson set his commitment date for Saturday, Feb. 4 at 10:30 a.m. CT, he told On3’s Hayes Fawcett on Monday. LSU is a finalist along with Florida and Colorado.

LSU didn’t host Johnson in January, but the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine gives the in-state Tigers the lead.

“Of course this is “Da Crib” but the coaching staff has shown me I’m a priority and that in itself feels really good,” Johnson told Fawcett. “Every kid dreams in Louisiana to play for the Tigers. It means a lot to have that option.”

Florida and Colorado hosted him this month with Deion Sanders getting the last crack at him last weekend.

“That’s Coach Prime man!! I’ve been waiting on him to offer me since he was at JSU,” Johnson said. “Coach Kevin Mathis was the first to reach out at JSU who’s now the corners coach at CU. The other major factor is Corey Phillips the new director of player Personnel coach, he was a part of my recruiting in a big way at LSU so it just makes since you know.”

Texas also hosted him in January while programs like Nebraska, Alabama, Georgia and Texas A&M have also offered him.

Johnson is the No. 195 overall player according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He also tabs in as the No. 18 athlete and the No.4 player in the state of Louisiana. 

A quarterback for LCA, Ju’Juan Johnson shined at LSU Elite Camp last summer as his recruitment picked up.

“Johnson is new to playing in the secondary, but is taking to it at a rapid pace,” On3’s Sam Spiegelman wrote this summer. “Since landing overtures from Nebraska, LSU and Alabama, and immersing himself in the craft during drillwork at camps, Johnson has continued to grow and develop as a defensive back and was outstanding at cornerback on Friday. After earning offers from LSU and Alabama as a nickel, Johnson was sticky outside at cornerback, quick and instinctive, and able to shadow receivers around the field.”
