2027 defensive lineman Josh Johnson commits to Miami

[Cane30]

Welcome to the U, Josh. I didn't know when it was coming, but I was waiting on this. I like Josh in this class. This is the best the DT tackle room has looked in over 20 years, right now. Let's add another commit this evening

Bill Hawkins comes to mind, or the Walters kid.

How does he compare to Nagle?

 

[Odin]

Yea I play the percentages
So I believe in star rankings esp at Dt
Stancil isn’t a whale , a whale is Justin Scott
Stancil isn’t close to his level as a recruit coming out

Moten was nowhere near Scott as a recruit and was close if not as good as good as Scott at the same stage.

Is this a Cole McConathy-esque signing?

I hope not.

Welcome to The U, Mr. Johnson!

Moten was nowhere near Scott as a recruit and was close if not as good as good as Scott at the same stage.

And better last season, although obviously Scott can catch up quickly being the younger player. And he flashed as well.

Hopefully Mario and D staff see this post by T/Pizzly. Expect better results from a recruiting perspective shortly I would imagine

I expect top 3 classes, baby boy. I want the best. I don’t see it with Josh Johnson. I hope I’m wrong (tbh I probably am). Blessings

You beat me to the Matt Walters comparison. LOL.

Denny Fortney but with a higher ceiling

Doing kick offs then forcing fumbles is crazy

 

[TRick72]

Welcome to the U!

 

[canesupremacy]

Wonderful, another stud!

 

[CANEMC]

He's 270 but it's like all muscle. Very little baby fat on that kid.

Yea Stancil is a whale, I think they look at him like free Willy with the bent fin. Pause

 

[Coach Macho]

DT is the position where star rankings tend to be most accurate, however Josh is a bit of an exception. Yall gotta remember, this kid just recently started playing football and he's way down in Key West. I'm sure he hasn't attended a bunch of camps and definitely doesn't get a lot of exposure. The kid also plays/played like 4 other sports.

I've always questioned the evaluations of previous staffs as it pertains to lower ranked kids, but I trust the guys that are in the Hecht right now.

Moten turned out to be a stud but he really took off this past year his 4th year in the program. Year 3 in the program he was close to what Scott did last year. Scott emerged as a player in only his 2nd year here. I dont know how good Scott ends up but he has been in the program two years less than Moten during a time the talent on the team has been much higher.
