Freshman CB Will Johnson ready to battle for starting spot

The Michigan Wolverines have a star-studded group of true freshman coming into the program this year. The class ranked No. 9 in the country and No. 3 in the Big Ten, per 247Sports’ composite. From top to bottom, no position is in a better spot in this class than the secondary is.

Cornerback Will Johnson, a legacy player and a born-and-raised Michigander, was the highest ranked player in Michigan’s class. He was one of the first players to commit to the class and helped bring in a lot of other top talent. A five-star recruit and an early enrollee, Johnson has already taken part in strength and conditioning, as well as spring practices, and is well on his way to playing this fall in Ann Arbor.
