Landing Johnson, who missed his junior season because of injury, is still massive since he’s such a talented defensive back and is also the teammate of five-star cornerback
Donte Wright.
According to a source, while the Bruins remain a big contender especially after a visit to Westwood earlier this week and an expectation he’ll be back Saturday for the spring game, Johnson’s decision won’t influence Wright’s final choice.
The two have played together for years, they’re friends and it certainly doesn’t hurt UCLA’s chances with Wright but Johnson’s decision is not going to play a considerable factor when the five-star has to finalize things on his end.
Oregon position coach
Rashad Wadood met with Wright during a two-hour in-home visit and at school this week as the Ducks are pushing the hardest for him to flip. There is confidence from others close to this recruitment that eventually, Wright will end up moving his commitment to Oregon.
But some are talking up
Miami after a visit there while others are not convinced that Wright is going to end up with the Hurricanes.
Plus, after multiple visits to UCLA and the selling point being that Wright could do huge things in his own backyard, it’s something else to monitor as the Long Beach Poly standout goes into what he calls “the hardest point of my recruitment right now.”
