Johnson has been busy on the visit circuit over the past couple of months. He last visited Nebraska on September 20, when the game against the Michigan Wolverines. Before his time in Lincoln, he also visited Syracuse, Florida, and Iowa.

The lineman would be another solid addition to what is a very talented 2027 recruiting class. The class itself ranks seventh overall in the country according to the Rivals Team Rankings.

The Huskers have focused on the defensive line over the last couple of classes. Johnson would be another nice get for a position group that is slowly rounding into form.
