Johnson commits to Clemson

Clemson has landed its first commitment from a defensive lineman in the 2019 recruiting class.

Williamsport (Md.) three-star defensive tackle Tayquon Johnson announced his commitment to the Tigers on Monday.

Johnson was kind enough to speak with The Clemson Insider about his decision prior to the announcement.

“It was based off of how the staff interacted with some of their football players, just the way that they run their program,” Johnson said. “They prioritize developing men first, they prioritize education, and football is pretty much last. They always say they’re great at the X’s and O’s, but developing men is our responsibility.
