On Wednesday, Johnson announced he will attend Nebraska in a Bleacher Report video.
A 6-1 receiver from Calabasas High School in Mission Viejo, California, Johnson chose the Huskers over USC, Ohio State and Alabama, among others.
Before you start wondering how a kid from California whose dad played at USC ends up at Nebraska, there is a strong tie. Nebraska coach Mike Riley was Keyshawn Johnson’s position coach at USC.
Also, Johnson will join former Calabasas teammate Marquel Dismuke in Lincoln. Dismuke, a four-star safety, signed with the Huskers as part of the 2016 class.
According to 247Sports.com, Johnson is a four-star prospect ranked No. 27 at receiver and No. 220 overall in the 2017 class.
