The Texas Longhorns have landed the heir apparent to the program’s speedy linebacker by securing the pledge of another speedy linebacker from a junior college, as Fullerton College product Caleb Johnson committed to head coach Tom Herman’s program on Monday over a final group featuring Oregon, Colorado, and Arkansas.
Despite the delay in his decision, Johnson had been trending to Texas for quite some time.
A former Iowa State pledge, the 6’1, 215-pounder originally committed to the Cyclones in July, but kept his options open, making plans to visit Arkansas for an official visit in late October, and eventually decommitting from Matt Campbell’s ball club in mid-October.
