Guys, I spoke just a few minutes ago with Independence (Tenn.) three-star WR Nate Johnson, who was offered today by Virginia Tech. He's been committed to Michigan since he took an official visit there Dec. 11.
Right off the bat, Johnson told me "I'm still 100 percent committed with them." He loved his visit and said he felt close to all the coaches when he was on his visit.
That said, Johnson is still keeping the door open for others. He said the four he is still now considering are VT, Penn State, Vanderbilt and Miami. Johnson had an official set to Northwestern, but he's now swapped that for the Nittany Lions. New offensive coordinator Brad Cornelsen made the offer for the Hokies. Johnson said he'd talked to Cornelsen when he was at Memphis, but feels like Cornelsen is on him now because he has a better chance to get him, being at VT. Johnson said he hasn't had a lot of contact, but is talking with his parents about setting an official to Blacksburg.
Right now, it sounds like Johnson is probably 80% to Michigan. The last quote I have from him is " If I decommit from Michigan, which I won’t, I’ll definitely hold off until signing day." He's expecting an in-home visit from Notre Dame next week and a likely offer, which could change things even more. But Penn State is definitely one he's still interested in. Assistant coach Josh Gattis from PSU visited Johnson before the current dead period and Johnson talked a little about him.
Honestly, I think VT has a shot, but only if they can get a visit from him. And that's probably 50/50, because if Notre Dame does indeed offer, he could use an official there instead of VT. But I like the shot by Cornelsen. Expect more offers from Tennessee, since that's an area Cornelsen and the new coaches are familiar with and it's not that far from Blacksburg. But with this one, the odds don't sound big right now. We'll see if he does visit.
