i just hadnt been up there in a while, and i knew a couple of my friends that were going up there, so i decided id just go up there and watch the game and stuff like that, said johnson, whos ranked the nations no. 125 overall prospect and no. 20 wide receiver and the no. 4 player from tennessee in the 247sports composite for the 2018 class. it was really good. I mean, the game was an early game, so after the game i got to hang out with the coaches a lot. I talked to coach z (wide receivers coach zach azzanni) for a while, so that was definitely fun. That was probably my favorite part of (saturdays) game. It was more just small talk just building our relationship and getting closer and stuff like that, more than anything.
theyre definitely high up there, he said. i havent really made a list of my tops so far, but theyre definitely high up there. (i like) just how much fan support they truly do have at ut, and just everything about it. I really like ut. I like their coaching staff. I like the offensive system they have in place, and then their fan supports incredible.
i noticed not a ton, but their passing game was doing pretty good (saturday), johnson said. thats encouraging to see a lot more passing coming from a team thats been predominantly running the past couple years, so that was definitely a big takeaway from (saturday).
"i think that just might have been a little bit of a hard game for them. They dont play a lot at 12 oclock, and, for tennessee, they usually play more later games and stuff like that, so i guess that probably was a little bit different for them. I think, whenever they needed to, theyve definitely been able to pull out games.
i mean, every coach has been texting me, showing me love, sending me pictures, stuff like that, johnson said. theyve definitely talked to me just as much as anybody, if not more. Pretty much all of them (have contacted me) mostly equally, as far as twitter goes. But coach z and i text a little bit more and stuff like that.
itll be at least next summer before i make any kind of decision, as far as where im going to commit or anything, johnson said. ill probably make a final five during the summer and then take my officials during the season next year.

Camron Johnson, Brentwood Academy, Wide Receiver
Camron Johnson - Hudl
Vols offered.
Cam is linked to us at NPA through him playing basketball with Buck's nephew for WACG a national champion AAU team. Cam is a phenomenal athlete and can do it all on an elite level in both sports. With Cam it's going to come down to what he prefers to do basketball or football. I highly doubt he makes any decisions any time soon though as he has crazy options.
Listed at 5'11" ?
Somebody tell the kid his future is in football...
How are we doing with him so far? We lead?
Johnson said during the National Playmakers Academys open workout Sunday afternoon at Tennessee State University that Tennessee is one of a handful of teams hes hearing from the most, along with Ohio State, Vanderbilt, Penn State and Florida.
Ohio State started talking to me a lot, said Johnson, whos ranked the nations No. 164 overall prospect and No. 27 wide receiver in the 247Sports Composite for the 2018 class. Tennessees been there, like always. Vanderbilts talked to me a lot, and then Penn States sort of started talking to me some, and Florida. I know that I want to go back to Ohio State soon, he said. Probably try and get down to Florida. Ill probably go to Tennessees junior day. I want to get up to South Carolinas junior day. And I think that, since Duke just offered, Im going to go up there to their junior day.
Coach Jones texts me really often, Johnson said. He texts me probably two or three times a week. He actually just texted me awhile ago, which is funny. He was just sending me a Twitter link of the UT fan erasing Roll Tide off the back of a car and just was laughing about it. Now its just sort of starting to get to the point where were so casual with each other, well just talk about anything, Johnson said. Theyll text me and just say, Hows it going? and ask about basketball or just send me funny things or anything like that, just let me know what theyre doing and stuff like that.
I know they didnt get as far as they probably wanted or their fans wanted, but they had a lot of big injuries that definitely contributed to that, Johnson said. I think that it shows theyre an up-and-coming program, and theyre definitely rebuilding to the point where they used to be, and thats definitely encouraging as a recruit.
It's amazing to me that our WR(Taylor, Johnson, Kellogg), TE(Schoenwald, Warren) and DT(Emerson, Litaker, Lawless, Gooden) needs could all be met in this class without going out of state
