USC has jumped back into the recruiting ring for AC Flora WR/DB Denzel Johnson. Johnson remains uncommitted and unsigned while awaiting the result of his ACT test last weekend. He’s expecting the score to be reported in about a week and a half.
Prior to National Signing Day, Johnson dropped USC because the Gamecocks told him to go to junior college first. But in the last week Johnson said USC recruiter and receivers coach Steve Spurrier Jr. contacted him and let him know that if he gets the grades and the score, he would like him at USC. And Johnson said he now has the Gamecocks back on his list.
“They are in it because I like South Carolina,” Johnson said. “He (Spurrier Jr.) was like once I get my grades right I can come on a visit and see how I like it and then go from there.”
Johnson said if he becomes qualified he would take his official visit to USC before making a final decision.
Johnson, of course, nearly committed to Clemson in January after his official visit there but the grades issue put that on hold. Clemson coach Dabo Swinney has kept in regular contact and has made it clear to Johnson he’s a take for the Tigers if he qualifies. Johnson said he heard from the Tigers on Thursday.
Johnson also took official visits to Towson, Massachusetts and SC State and is still considering those three.
