Tuesday morning, California 2020 wideout Chad Johnson Jr. announced Oregon State University as the second school to offer him a scholarship.

Johnson is the son of former Beaver and NFL great Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson, who played for the Dennis Erickson led Beavers in 2000. That team went 11-1 and beat Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl that year.

The younger Johnson is 6’3” and 185 lbs and already showing major promise as a sophomore. While he hasn’t received a formal number of stars yet, Johnson is already making plays like his dad and drawing D1 attention. His first offer came from Lane Kiffin and Florida Atlantic University.
