Badgers offer four-star defensive lineman from California
Wisconsin offered Jericho Johnson, a four-star class of 2024 defensive lineman from Fairchild, California on Monday. The 6-foot-4, 300-pound athlete still has one more season of football at Armijo High School before he’d make the jump to the collegiate level.
Johnson has experience playing on both sides of the ball, also taking snaps as an offensive tackle in high school. That being said, he is being recruited for his defensive talents and has now received 18 Division 1 offers, including top programs like Alabama, Georgia and future Big Ten program and home state option USC.
Considering the prestige of some of the other teams that have offered, Wisconsin would appear as an unlikely destination for Johnson, but with Luke Fickell at head coach and Mike Tressel at defensive coordinator, the Badgers certainly have a shot.
To this point, Wisconsin has yet to reel in a defensive player for the class of 2024, but that will likely change in the coming months.
after a great conversation with coach @G_Scruggs I’m beyond blessed to receive an offer from the University of Wisconsin!!!!! @BrandonHuffman @Nicoe_H__ @RoyalsArmijo @Coach_MosleyAHS @coachhaynes711 @CoachTTMP pic.twitter.com/49R3cXF12C
