DuWayne Johnson, a 2018 cornerback will enroll at Syracuse University this fall, and will be eligible immediately. After committing to Virginia Tech out of high school in Washington, D.C., Johnson didn’t feel it was the right fit and played most recently at Arizona Western Community College.
The Orange beat out offers from the likes of Arkansas, Iowa State, Missouri, and Washington State for Johnson’s services. At 6-foot 2 and 175-pounds, Johnson has very good size for a cornerback in the ACC.
Johnson is expected to compete for playing time right away, and will strengthen a Syracuse secondary that lost Devin M.
