Theo Johnson has committed to play college football at Penn State University. Johnson is a four-star tight end, and is the top rated player in Canada. Johnson played for Holy Names High School and is from Windsor, Ontario. He’s in the class of 2020.
The four-star announced his commitment today:

Johnson’s top four schools were: Michigan, Iowa, Penn State and Georgia. Penn State was favored to land the Canadian, but Georgia was considered his second most likely destination. Georgia needs to land a talented tight end in the class of 2020.
Georgia can use another tight end with the departures of senior Charlie Woerner and graduate transfer Eli Wolf. Georgia will have John FitzPatrick, a former four-star, next season, but he’s seldom played this season. The Dawgs could still use more depth and play-making at the position.
Johnson has incredible size at 6’6″, 240 pounds and impressive athleticism. He has great vertical leap skills. He’ll be playing in the 2020 Under Armor All-American before he heads to Penn State.
Big props to @thekid_bigv and @theo_Johnson_.

Best of luck to Johnson in school at Penn State. He’ll be much closer to home. Georgia will look to add a five-star tight end out of Nevada, who has been compared to Zion Williamson.
