Ohio State has landed a four-star cornerback, it’s first of the 2023 class. Out of Wharton High School in Tampa, Florida, Dijon Johnson committed to the Buckeyes on Sunday, one day after visiting campus for the spring game.
According to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, the 6-foot, 1-inch, 190-pound Johnson is ranked as the No. 29 cornerback and 265th overall prospect in the 2023 cycle. He chose OSU over other offers from the likes of Oklahoma, USC, Alabama, Auburn, and many others.
Johnson makes the fourth prospect from the sunshine state to commit to Ohio State already this year joining Bryson Rodgers, Cedrick Hawkins, and Mark Fletcher. It’ll be interesting to see if Ohio State continues to mine the state of Florida for the rest of this cycle with so many connected guys.
