Johnson is the second 2021 prospect to commit to Virginia Tech, joining New Jersey safety Jalen Hoyle. He is expected to play the cornerback position for the Hokies.
Tech is the first offer for Johnson, though he’s already listed as a 3-star player and the No. 7 player in the state of South Carolina by 247Sports.

You don’t sound very positive CC, though I agree…it is 2021.
glad to see him join the HOKIE nation ! welcome ………………….. will be a great asset
Ball hawking corner who’s not afraid of contact. Good movement. Stuck in the receiver’s pocket on that first pick.
This kid has moves. Solid athlete. Welcome Home
Very athletic. Good find….hope he sticks
You would think the #7 player in the state of SC would be higher than a 3*.
He will be by the time signing day comes around.
His rating should increase over time….
Yeah it’s early for 2021 offers to blow up. Probably will have to fight off USCe, GT, & others
It’s early. He’s only a junior. It’s nice to see our first 2 pickups for the 2021 class are a safety & a CB knowing Foster is retiring. Let the strong Defense continue.
Or more offers. None yet.
Well, the number one ranked player in South Carolina’s 2021 class is also a three star. They’re Juniors, so their star ratings will rise.
Stars are largely based on offers. More offers will get more stars.
