Tigers coach [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] added the 15th commitment to his 2024 recruiting class on Monday night.
Four-star Lafayette Christian Academy athlete [autotag]Ju’Juan Johnson[/autotag] announced his commitment to LSU over Florida and others on The Jordy Culotta Show. A former Colorado commit, Johnson backed off his pledge to coach Deion Sanders and the Buffaloes on April 23 after less than three months.
Johnson ranks as the No. 220 player nationally, per On3, and he’s the No. 7 player in Louisiana. Though considered an athlete by 247Sports, On3 lists him as a cornerback, and he likely projects in the secondary at the next level.
He had several summer official visits set, including one with the Gators on June 2, but he canceled all his summer official visits last week ahead of his commitment.
