New Michigan State Football head coach Mel Tucker has a reputation as a strong recruiter that goes all the way back to his time with Ohio State in the mid-2000s, and while we have not yet seen the fruits of those talents yet in East Lansing, he has already made some big recruiting swings out of the gate. On Monday night, the number three running back in the 2021 recruiting class announced that he has received a scholarship offer from the Spartans.

Johnson is ranked number thirty in the 2021 class according to 247sports and he is the number four ranked player in the state of Texas. This might be a bit of a hail mary pass as Johnson has offers from pretty much every team in the country including LSU and Georgia, but you have to love the confidence and aggressiveness from Tucker’s recruiting process.
This comes just one day after the number twelve ranked player in the state of Texas (according to 247sports’ rankings) QB Kaidon Salter announced that he also received an offer from MSU and Mel Tucker.
