AuburnSports.com was one of several recruiting websites confirming with Jeremy Johnson himself that the quarterback informed AU of his decision to verbal to the school on an unofficial visit Sunday. The Mobile, Ala, native opted for the Tigers over, among others, SEC rivals LSU, Mississippi State and Ole Miss.
Johnson, who allowed that LSU and Ole Miss were his other three finalists, said in essence that AU’s homefield advantage played a significant role in his decision.
“It feels great,” Johnson, who is the first verbal for the Tigers at his position in next year’s class, told the Rivals.com AU website. “I prayed about it, talked to my family about it and I feel like it’s the best choice for me. Auburn is right up the road from home.
“I’m excited about going to Auburn. It’s a great feeling. I thank God. He is the one who gave me this ability.”
That ability has led to both 247Sports.com and Scout.com rating Johnson as a four-star prospect, with the former placing him at No. 13 among pro-style QBs and the latter at No. 18 among all of the signal callers, pro-style or dual-threat.
Rivals rates Johnson as a three-star prospect and the No. 18 pro-style QB.
