2026 James "JJ" Johnson 4* DT from Northwestern via Ft Myers Flips to Texas From UGA

How does this kid compare to Marcus Forston as a recruit?

* emphasis on recruit, so not factoring the injuries forston had in college.

Miami is picking up steam with SEC commit​

Miami made a statement Sunday night, knocking off Notre Dame 27-24 inside Hard Rock Stadium. The victory was big on the field, but it may prove just as important on the recruiting trail. The Hurricanes generated strong buzz with several top flip targets in attendance.
The name drawing the most attention is James Johnson, the five-star defensive lineman committed to Texas. Johnson has already flipped once — from Georgia to the Longhorns — and Miami has never let up in its pursuit to keep the Miami Northwestern standout home. When asked about his recruitment earlier this week, Johnson’s response was simple: “Stay tuned.” There is quiet optimism in Coral Gables that the Hurricanes could be in a position to pull this one off down the stretch.
Their is a lot more than this going on after that win. This win made the exact statement we needed. I wish UF wasn't playing LSU before us. I didn't realize some things from UF's LIU win. If they play like that this week, they lose. Anyway, let's keep this recruiting buzz going.

IF UF is u defeated when we face them, the hype in that game will be like something we havent seen in a LONG time. We need that. LSU is definitely beatable.

Like giving up 11 TFLs to a CFB 26 create-a-school?

“This win for Miami was special,” Johnson told Rivals.

Johnson is no stranger to Miami’s campus. He’s been around the program plenty, knows the staff well, and hears from someone on the coaching staff every day. The local star admits the Hurricanes always leave a strong impression.

“It always feels good to be at the U,” Johnson said. “Miami is always a vibe. It was great to be there for their win over Notre Dame.”

The atmosphere stood out to Johnson, who pointed to several moments that left an impact.

“When Malachi Toney, also known as Baby Jesus, caught that deep ball, that was a big highlight,” Johnson said. “Then, when Ruben Bain came up with the pick, followed by CJ’s (Daniels) one-handed catch for the touchdown, the energy was unreal.

“Those plays stood out, then meeting Ray Lewis was definitely a highlight for me because I’ve always admired how he played during his NFL career.”

While Johnson remains committed to Texas, Miami is firmly in the picture. With Signing Day still months away, the Hurricanes will continue to push for the elite defensive tackle in their backyard.

Asked about his status with the Longhorns, Johnson kept it simple:

“Stay tuned.”

He. Ain’t. Signing. With. Texas.

Austin is a decent city, but Central Texas is not like S. Florida. You gotta be a diehard Texas kid to go there.

It’s not for S. Florida kids.

Isnt he from Naples though ? At least he transferred here from there anyways
 
Won’t ever catch me rooting for the gators. I hope LSU loosens that *** up for us.

****, UF might be about to have a train ran on em if they lose to USF after that it’s LSU, than us, than Texas.
They also got UGA and Ole Miss, and who knows what FSU is at the end of the season. They gave up 11 tfls v Long Island, they might get the QB killed

If any of this was true SEC and BIG 10 schools wouldn’t be able to compete in football because “no one wants to go there”

You think anybody wants to live in Tuscaloosa???

That’s very naive thinking especially when NIL is involved.
