Soon-to-commit 4-star athlete from Louisiana has new favorite

A late contender has emerged as the favorite to land Johnson.

Prime time has come knocking for [autotag]Ju’Juan Johnson[/autotag], and for the first time (that I can remember) in his recruiting process, Colorado is projected as a 97% favorite to land the four-star athlete.

Johnson will be committing on Saturday at noon CT, and it appears that it will take a miracle for LSU to keep him home, but stranger things have happened. If there is anyone who can flip him, it’s [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag].

Kelly landed two players from Lafayette Christian Academy in the class of 2022, [autotag]Jordan Allen[/autotag] and [autotag]Fitzgerald West[/autotag]. Since coach Deion Sanders got the job at Colorado, he has been going crazy on the recruiting trail.

Sanders brought Colorado their highest-ranked recruiting class since 2008. For the second straight year, he landed the No. 1 cornerback in that year’s recruiting class (Travis Hunter and Cormani McClain). There is still a lot of time before the 2024 national signing day, but all signs are pointing toward Boulder, Colorado.
