2022 WR AJ Johnson receives offer

[Memnon]

https://247sports.com/Player/AJ-Johnson-46084604/

6'2 175lbs 4-star WR out of New Orleans, goes to 2A school Isidore Newman.

Was originally at McMain, but transferred to Newman & unfortunately had to sit out the 2019 because of Louisiana transfer rules.

Dual sport athlete that plays both Baseball & Football.

Has good balance, doesn't go down on first contact, is a pretty good route runner saw some nice quick outs & Dig routes on his Sophomore tape. Makes nice Jump ball highpoint receptions & shows ability to make contested catches in traffic. Is an unofficial 4.6 40 but has good footwork. Natural playmaker.

Newman is the New Orleans school that the legendary Manning family all went to, Peyton, Eli & Cooper all played there & the current starting QB is the Freshman Phenom Cooper Manning's son Arch who will be a future 5-star QB in the 2023 class, a supremely naturally gifted passer.

Another well known New Orleans star who played at Newman was Odell Beckham Jr.

Holds offers from UGA, Tenn, FSU, Miss St & Kansas, (LSU has yet to offer)

Regardless of whether we have a legit shot, love seeing us make the cut more often for these types of guys. With that said... 6’4 205 as a high school WR??? Sign me up

Says 6'2" 175lbs, but yes we need more of these bigger speed guys at WR. Keyshawn Smith is a good start, Brinson next year should be great, and another guy with a similar frame is needed. Need to try to replicate what Devonta Smith does for Bama.

The tweet was updated (not that you’re able to see that in the photo) that says he’s up to 6’4 205 now. Looking forward to the WR talent we have coming in for sure. Seems like every single team has a couple guys who can create separation and win their matchups besides us. No excuses considering where our school is located.

He looked good on Thursday night.

Came to post just this... Kid looked legit and would a great grab out of LA if LSU decides to recruit more nationally

If I'm not mistaken, Stefan had an article on this kid, and he mentioned that he's originally from Atlanta. Only been in New Orleans for a few years. You'd have to think he's not Purple & Gold indoctrinated like the native kids. Plus they suck right now. I definitely could be wrong but my gut says UGA/BAMA would be our toughest competition.

Just saw where he decommitted and moving to West Palm Beach to play this year.

Don’t know who his QB will be this year but I suspect he’s going to experience a drop off in QB play after playing with Arch Manning.

Someone better park outside ibietas house with a pack of dogs cause they’re coming for him

They have to strike out on Shazz Preston first which doesn’t seem likely. Don’t think they are taking 4 WR.

Supposedly dismissed from his HS. Also said Orgeron encouraged him to move on. Many off field issues. Kid was living with the Mannings

Any update on this kid?

Haven’t heard anything about him since he was supposed to be going to school at Western?

If you don’t know do you expect any of us to know?

Lol, I figured somebody might know.

Gaby from 247 checked with a source yesterday and says no contact

Miami Flo (think it was him) seemed to imply in a recent podcast that we have made contact recently. Take that for what it’s worth.

@Coach Macho
