2015 four-star center Jayce Johnson commits to Utah over Cal

The Utah Runnin' Utes, already flush with size and talent in the post going forward, added another big-time recruit Monday night when 2015 center Jayce Johnson committed to the program.

Johnson, from Santa Monica, CA, plans on enrolling at Utah in the spring semester and redshirting this year, as Cal Golden Blogs laid out over the weekend.

The obvious benefit from Johnson's plan of coming in this year and redshirting is he gets extra time around the team and coaches, and will be that much further developed than a traditional incoming recruit.
