2027 Josh Johnson 3* DE/DT from Key West (Key West HS) Pre-Commit Thread

[lindend]

@DMoney overview of Josh's tape and recruitment

 

[lindend]

UV: March 5 and again in April

Everybody in my town was going nuts because everyone in my town is a Miami fan

 

[CaneTheGaytors]

Future Cane. That’s as good U as I’ve seen thrown up by a recruit in quite some time. Perfect form, just like Mario.

[Hold My Beer]

Wow. I dont know how many schools gonna make the trip down to recruit him.

Recruiting staffers from the other 49 states:

"I looked at the map coach. Seems like the only way to make it to Key West is by boat or submarime"

 

[lindend]

Iowa seems to have the edge right now, with our national analyst Steve Wiltfong logging a prediction in favor of the Hawkeyes. Iowa has made him a top priority, and Johnson has family ties there. If a decision comes soon, Iowa has the momentum.

Iowa triple legacy.

Post in thread 'Miami One of Six Finalists for 3-Star Defensive Lineman'

Feb 9, 2026

He told Witfong that his grandpa and uncle (maternal) both played football for Iowa. Mom was a volleyball player at Iowa.

His Dad went to Wisconsin.

He also said he had an uncle who went to Miami.

I would be extremely happy over the weekend if Miami got commits from Nick, Josh, Andre and maybe Sherrod.

This is a priority if it were me, really want that crazy white boy on the DL. Need one of those to reach peak Miami level lol. His film is legit legit, Jason Taylor would unleash this monster. Him and Brewster and DJ, bring me those guys and then just give us the trophy. The rest of cfb should just forfeit future seasons cause its over.

Is he really a take? Dmoney saying it’s gone be a smaller class and they are going after a lot of guys

Yes he's a take. 6'5" 270 with good movement and a high motor is a no brainer.

 

[lindend]

On CIS PM with @Peter Ariz

"I don't think ANY other school does what we got to do there [at 305 day and at Mario's house]....brought my mom and my dad.
....
[Heatherman asked what DL position he prefers] I don't CARE what I play [5 tech or 3 tech] just so long as I play DL"
....
Nicholas Lennear is a guy I played against"

They measured me at 6'5" 264

Visiting again for a couple of spring practices and also April 5th [Pool Party?]

 

[Trav]

People are sleeping on this guy. Surprised by the lack of SEC offers. Not gonna be a 3* for long.

I think you can't leave so many elite guys out especially if we're going to 105 ships. This class has so many difference makers

 

[TheUBack]

This guy reminds me of a vanilla Rousseau. Will be a monster

 

[Dwinstitles]

You have aimbot bruh

I cant get away with one. Pause just in case

 

[Dwinstitles]

Oh this dude will be a Cane, easy to see. This is a lock
