Oregon Lands Four-Star DL Jericho Johnson
One of the top defensive linemen out West is staying out West. The Ducks have landed Fairfield (Calif.) defensive lineman Jericho Johnson the day after national signing day.
The 6-foot-3, 320-pounder is the No. 143 ranked player in the On3 Industry Rankings. He is the No. 16 ranked defensive lineman nationally. Oregon already put together one of the best defensive line classes in the nation.
Johnson picked Oregon over USC, Utah, Washington and others. The four-star had a heavy Pac-12 flavor on his list for most of his recruitment. He had visited Oregon the most out of all programs forging a strong relationship with Lanning and his staff. Despite the late push by those programs, Oregon was able to hold on.
Oregon has loaded up once again at defensive line at the prep level. Johnson is commit No. 6 on the defensive line at the prep level for the Ducks. Lanning is also looking at a couple defensive line transfers in the portal but does not have any commits yet.
Following the big national signing day, Oregon has signed one of the top-ranked classes in the country. Oregon has the No. 6 ranked class in the On3 rankings.
