One of the top athletes in the 2024 class announced he will make his commitment decision on Saturday, Feb. 4, according to his Twitter account.
[autotag]Ju’Juan Johnson[/autotag], Louisiana’s fourth-ranked prospect according to On3, will decide between Florida, LSU and Colorado. The 5-foot-11-inch, 175-pound Lafayette, Louisiana, native recently took an unofficial visit to Gainesville. The timing of Johnson’s visit is interesting. According to On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine, LSU has a 92% chance to land Johnson’s services. Florida doesn’t even appear in the top four options.
With Johnson announcing his final three on Jan. 30, the recent visit to Gainesville could mean [autotag]Billy Napier[/autotag] and his staff managed to make a late impression on Johnson.

While the graphic he tweeted out says Thursday, Feb. 4, he followed it up with a clarification that he will announce on Saturday.
Flipping Johnson would be a massive victory for Napier, both in the 2024 class rankings and in the perception of the Florida program. After the [autotag]Jaden Rashada[/autotag] debacle, the Gators’ recruiting and NIL operations reputations took a hit. Bringing in a Louisiana native a week before he’s expected to make his announcement and managing to get him out of the state would show the fan base, and the nation as a whole, that the Gators are a serious contender for the best prospects in the nation.
