Virginia football lands commitment from Louisiana defensive back Donovan Johnson

June has traditionally been a busy month for commitments under Virginia Cavaliers head coach Bronco Mendenhall. And with the official start of summer just around the corner, UVA’s football recruiting is heating up.

Two weeks after wide receiver Lavel Davis kicked off the month, Louisiana safety Donovan Johnson announced his commitment to the Hoos over the weekend.

Johnson plays for Helen Cox in Harvey, Louisiana, just outside New Orleans. The 6-foot-2, 180-pound safety holds almost 30 offers, including Georgia Tech, Miami, Arkansas, Arizona, Arizona State, Utah, and Texas Tech.

In the 247 Sports Composite, Johnson is rated 87.
