Nebraska recruiting: Huskers’ quarterback target Michael Johnson commits to Penn State

Michael Johnson was once perhaps the top quarterback target on the board when it came to Nebraska recruiting. After Luke McCaffrey committed to the Huskers, things changed.

There was a time when Johnson seemed quite excited about Scott Frost. He even called him an offensive legend. It appears that the top prospect out of Oregon cooled a bit on the former Ducks’ assistant as the recruiting cycle went along.

Johnson had been taking a number of official visits during the early part of the summer. The quarterback took official visits to North Carolina State, Florida State, and Miami in June.
