Otherwise why bother? That said, if there was room for him to have a scholarship for fall, that would imply to me that someone we expect to be on it won't be. I suppose he could be a grayshirt, or preferred walkon. Rivals also shows him as signed LOI to Ohio: http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/player-W...

For whatever reason not one of the ratings services rated him. Scout, rivals, and ESPN list him, but have no rating. 247sports doesn't list him. I find that odd that no one rated him if he really had all those offers. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top Bobcatzblitz General User Member Since: 7/21/2010 Post Count: 1,739 Status: Offline     RE: New Commit-OLB William Johnson    Posted: 3/13/2012 1:08:12 AM  Sleeper maybe an understatement..check out this video..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fh3alVnmNUA Back to Top L.C.

Remember, Ashley began as a Mississippi State verbal, then I think it was Southern Cal, then off to a JC, then OUr team, and then ... This young man is still in high school, and as far as I know he never committed prior to this (?)  The list of offers is, indeed, impressive: Schools of Interest: School Interest Level Offer? Attended Camp? Visit Date Signed LOI? Ohio Verbal Yes   None   Arizona No Interest Yes   None   Arizona State No Interest Yes   None   Oregon No Interest Yes   None   Utah No Interest Yes   None   Washington No Interest Yes   None   The only thing that is a fact is that nothing is a fact.

He had committed to Arizona St. before that coaching staff was fired. I guess the new staff wasn't interested. New Bobcats DL coach Jesse Williams had a relationship with Johnson from when he was at New Mexico State. Williams was also instrumental in the recruitment of Davon Henry. The coaching staff is excited about both.   Follow Ohio Football recruiting on the BobcatAttack.com football recruiting database.

Definitely an athlete, but he looks a little wirey for LB. Are we thinking red shirt with a year to bulk up, or maybe play him at safety?

Ohio tends to use undersized linebackers more than most schools. It will take him a year to catch on for sure..wasnt Noah the last Lber to play as a freshman?? Back to Top L.C.
