The Colorado Buffaloes picked up a Victory on the recruiting front.
Victory Johnson, a three-star linebacker from Cathedral Catholic High School (San Diego, California), chose the Buffaloes over nine other schools on Saturday, including Washington and USC.
Johnson is Colorado’s 18th commitment in the 2023 recruiting class and the second linebacker, joining fellow three-star CJ Turner.
At 6-foot-4, 230 pounds, Johnson provides good size to go along with the speed and versatility to play both outside and middle linebacker. Notably, Johnson excels at stopping the run, a trait that should of course help the Buffaloes and their run defense.
Getting Johnson’s pledge would be a significant development no matter the circumstances, but it’s especially welcoming news given that Colorado still has uncertainty on the coaching staff with interim head coach Mike Sanford running the show in Boulder.
