USC had more contact Thursday with former Kansas Jayhawk safety Isaiah Johnson (6-1 210). Johnson talked earlier in the week with Gamecock recruiter Joe Robinson after announcing his decision to play his senior season away from Lawrence. Johnson said he and Robinson were back on the phone with each other again Thursday.
“We talked about me coming up for a visit some time soon,” Johnson said. “I’m real high on South Carolina. I really like South Carolina. My brother was recruited some by South Carolina. I didn’t know much about South Carolina while in high school but I new about Steve Spurrier and some of the good players they had like Marcus Lattimore. And I’ve been there for games.”
Johnson said USC, Louisville and Wake Forest are the three schools he’s heard from this week. Right now USC is the only one he’s certain of getting an official visit as long as the school will take him as a transfer. “I should be up there soon.”
Johnson is free to talk to any school in the country except Rutgers, South Dakota and Memphis, because they are on Kansas’ schedule in 2015, as well as the other Big 12 schools.
Johnson is a native of Cary, NC who signed with Western Carolina out of high school. After a year in Cullowhee he transferred to Iowa Western JC for a season. He was a starter the past two seasons at safety for Kansas and in 2013 was the Big 12 Defensive Newcomer of the Year. Last season he totaled 75 tackles with 1 interception and 2 passes broken up.
Johnson decided to leave Kansas for personal reasons and will graduate May 17th. He plans to have a decision before then and will enroll this summer at his new school as a graduate student and will be eligible immediately.
