Three-star wide receiver James Johnson includes Colorado among top schools

Colorado fans should keep an eye on James Johnson’s recruitment moving forward

Last month, the Colorado Buffaloes football program offered class of 2025 three-star (Rivals) wide receiver James Johnson. On Friday, the Douglasville, Georgia prospect announced his top 20 schools on X (formally Twitter) and CU made the cut.

At 6-foot-even and 175 pounds, Johnson’s top 20 includes all Power Four teams, including the USC Trojans, Florida State Seminoles, Georiga Bulldogs, Missouri Tigers and Texas Longhorns.

Johnson received a four-star grade from ESPN and a three-star rating from Rivals. He is currently not ranked by 247Sports.

Watching his high school highlights, I see Johnson as an incredible athlete capable of making plays all over the field. He has taken snaps out of the wildcat, as a wide receiver and at cornerback. Positional versatility is always a plus in recruiting and Johnson certainly has that covered.

The race for Johnson’s commitment will be one to watch for Buffs fans.
