Tulane continued toward its goal of adding a large recruiting class this year with Notre Dame (Tennessee) defensive lineman Patrick Johnson announcing his commitment to the Green Wave on Tuesday via his Twitter account.
"I picked Tulane because of the great education I will get from there," Johnson said. "The coaching staff is doing a great job turning the program around. I'm ready to be a part of it."
