Per his coach at Cleveland High School Scott Riley, Johnson will not be announcing a commitment tonight.

In a move that has caught his former head coach by surprise, 4 star DL Sterling Johnson (6-5 290) of Cleveland, NC plans to announce his college choice tonight via Twitter.Johnson tweeted earlier today his plans to reveal his decision between 7:30-8:00 PM.

Clemson and USC are among his offers and the speculation is that Clemson, Tennessee and Alabama are his top three.

Johnson’s former coach Marc Morris just moved to Carolina Forest High School in Myrtle Beach Friday and he said today he was surprised Johnson was making an announcement today. He said Johnson was supposed to make a visit to Ohio State later this month and in fact Ohio State called him today to find out what was going on.

Johnson has visited Clemson, USC, Tennessee and Alabama.

Last season Johnson record 80 tackles with 56 tackles for loss and 8 sacks.

A wild recruiting day for DL Sterling Johnson (6-5 290) of Clayton, NC ended Tuesday night when he announced on Twitter a commitment to the Clemson Tigers.

“I would to thank all the schools who have offered but, It’s official, I am verbally committed to Clemson university!” is what Johnson wrote shortly after 8:00 PM.

Earlier in the day, according to a source close to the situation, Johnson called Tennessee with the intention to commit but the Vols wouldn’t take his pledge then. Johnson was told by Tennessee that two of their defensive ends had put on enough weight to move to tackle and they only had one spot remaining and wanted to see him in camp before taking his commitment.

Johnson dropped the Vols from consideration. Clemson was in contact with coaches at his school Tuesday. It was thought Johnson would not rush into another decision and would further consider Clemson, Alabama and Ohio State but he made the decision to commit to the Tigers.

Last season Johnson had 80 tackles with 56 tackles for loss and 8 sacks. He is Clemson’s 9th commitment for the 2015 class and the first on the defensive line.
