Ohio State is off to a stellar start with the 2022 recruiting class. The Buckeyes already have three players with five-star ratings verbally committed in quarterback Quinn Ewers, wide receiver Caleb Burton, and cornerback Jaheim Singletary. Now Ryan Day is hoping to add another five-star cornerback in Will Johnson.
OSU will find out where Johnson will play at the end of the month. The Grosse Pointe, Michigan product has shared he will announce his decision on February 28.
Johnson has narrowed his choices and will choose from three schools. Along with Ohio State as possible destinations are Michigan and USC. The Wolverines have been the frontrunner for a while now and all signs are still pointing to Johnson landing in Ann Arbor, but there’s always hope. And the Buckeyes make a really compelling argument to join the scarlet and gray.

It will be a tall task to get Johnson considering his dad played for the Wolverines, but if the Bucks can somehow get the Michigan native to commit to coming to Columbus, it will give OSU the No. 4 and No. 5 rated cornerbacks in the 2022 class. And that would be a pretty big haul for a class that’s already shaping up to be pretty special.
We’ll have more on the story when the decision is made.
