NC State picks up a commitment from 3-star defensive back Joseph Johnson

NC State’s 2020 recruiting class got a boost Saturday with the verbal commitment of Joseph Johnson, who is a defensive back from Virginia. Johnson is one of the best players in his state and is being recruited by Penn State, West Virginia, and plenty of other power-conference programs.

(I’d use the past tense there but that ain’t how football recruiting works.)

Johnson was on campus this weekend and made his decision while in Raleigh. He’s a big kid—already 6’3”—which makes his future hard to guess exactly, but no doubt NC State would like him to stick in the defensive backfield.
