A member of Michigan State’s 2021 football recruiting class has been arrested in Florida and is being charged with threatening an underage girl, saying he would release a video of her if she refused his advances.
According to WWSB-TV, the ABC affiliate in Sarasota, Florida, Steffan Johnson, 18, has been charged with extortion and transmission of a sexual performance by a child.
Johnson (6-foot, 170 pounds) is a three-star cornerback from Venice (Florida) High and signed with the Spartans during the early signing period in December as part of the 2021 class. Johnson said on social media he planned to be in East Lansing for Michigan State’s final spring practice, which took place at Spartan Stadium on Saturday.
