JOHNSON PICKS UP OHIO STATE OFFER
Ohio State added another cornerback to its offer list on Tuesday afternoon. Three-star 2023 Florida cornerback Dijon Johnson picked up an offer from Ohio State and running backs coach Tony Alford on Tuesday, calling it a “dream offer.”

Johnson is ranked as the 407th-best prospect and the 42nd-best cornerback in the 2023 class. The 6-foot-1, 180-pound standout currently holds 24 Division I offers, a sheet that includes Florida, Florida State, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Michigan State, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Penn State, Tennessee, Texas A&M and USC. In 10 games for Wharton High School (Tampa Bay, Florida) last season, Johnson racked up three interceptions, one fumble recovery, 10 pass deflections and 12 total tackles. Ohio State plans on taking at least two cornerbacks in the class of 2023, and their top targets remain five-stars AJ Harris and Cormani McClain.

New 2023 CB offer
A new 2023 name to monitor in the secondary came about on Tuesday when Ohio State dropped an offer to three-star cornerback Dijon Johnson of Wharton (FL).

While taking a look at his 247Sports profile, you may notice that the prospect rankings for Johnson don't immediately jump off of the screen and catch your attention. However, this seems to be a scenario in which the impressive offer sheet that he has at his disposal should do the talking for him.

Aside from the self-proclaimed dream offer from the Buckeyes, the Tampa native also holds offers from the likes of Florida, Florida State, Kentucky, Michigan, Michigan State, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Penn State, Texas A&M, USC, and more.

Johnson is currently graded as the No. 407 prospect overall in the 2023 recruiting class. The 6-foot-1, 180-pounder is also slotted as the No. 42 cornerback and the 72nd highest graded player from the state of Florida.

 

JOHNSON TO VISIT OSU APRIL 1-2
Add another key visit for Ohio State the weekend of April 1-2.

Alongside names like Carnell Tate, Brandon Inniss, Jeremiah Smith and more, four-star 2023 Florida cornerback Dijon Johnson has locked in a visit to Columbus that weekend, per his Twitter account.

Johnson is considered the 358th-best prospect in the 2023 cycle and the 35th-best cornerback. He currently holds 35 Division I offers, a list that includes Oklahoma, Alabama, Texas A&M, Tennessee, Penn State, Ole Miss, Michigan, Michigan State, Louisville, Kentucky, Indiana, Georgia, Florida and Auburn.

The 6-foot-1, 190-pound Johnson picked up his OSU offer on Jan. 25, calling it “his dream offer.” In 10 games for Wharton High School (Tampa Bay, Florida) last season, Johnson racked up three interceptions, one fumble recovery, 10 pass deflections and 12 total tackles.
