St. Louis WR’s commitment highlights Notre Dame’s young wideouts

Notre Dame has leaned on some young receivers this spring, the development of a handful of current freshmen boding well for not only this fall, but also for 2020 and beyond. The Saturday night commitment of consensus four-star Jordan Johnson (DeSmet High School; St. Louis) should even further aid that cause.

The No. 13 receiver in the class of 2020, per rivals.com, Johnson chose the Irish over offers from USC, Alabama, Michigan and Georgia, to name a few of many top-tier programs chasing him. The sixth commitment in the class for Notre Dame, he joins two consensus four-star tight ends as skill position players in the early haul.
