Denzel Johnson started playing football to be a good example for his younger brother. He had no clue that becoming a football player would have such a big impact on his own future.

“When I was in eighth grade and my little brother started playing Pop Warner football, I said I had to play. I had to get him right,” Johnson said.

And here is the update on his recruitment ...

Passion for the game and his desire to be a role model combined to drive Johnson to the top of South Carolina’s 2015 recruiting class. His drive has garnered attention from 10 major programs and four scholarship offers so far – from Clemson, Notre Dame, South Carolina State and Liberty.

Johnson, a 6-foot-2 wide receiver and defensive back for the A.C. Flora Falcons, is a three-star prospect, ranked 25th in the state by 247Sports.

Good size, love his ball skills on offense, they will translate well to the defensive side. I like how he keeps his form on tackles too...will keep him from breaking down in run support. we are in an uphill battle with Notre Dame and Clemson offering him but I would love to see his name with Liberty next to it come signing day next year

Is he the commit? Great pick up if so!

[BJWilliams]

Nice win for us with UND AND Clemson in his reported offers. definitely is a candidate for safety and maybe 2v2 or 3v3 matchup at corner. he probably could match up with a tight end in some situations as well

Are we sure this is him. He tweeted a pic in a sc state jersey 22 hrs ago.

[BJWilliams]

Manson or duke or Lang could verify if he committed or no I bet

[rjhenz]

I'm not so sure it is him now. Saw this tweet by Cam Jones

Congrats to my boy @ririunleashed on the commitment to LU!

From the same school, his name is Rion Davis. Looks like he is a 2 prospect. I'll wait to hear from Duke or Mason, I'm sure they will find out.

Here is the link to his Espn profile.
