Boom!
Defensive end Deandre Johnson (Miami/Southridge) just committed to Tennessee, as first-reported by 247Sports.
Johnson just got off the phone with Volunteers coach Butch Jones and informed him of his intentions.
Johnson, an early enrollee, officially visited Tennessee November 11.
"Being there I felt comfortable," Johnson said. "The people are great and I'm a fit there."
Johnson later confirmed the commit via Twitter.
The three-star recruit is ranked as the nation's No. 41 weakside defensive end and the No. 103 prospect in Florida in the 2017 class by 247SportsComposite.
As a senior, Johnson (6-4, 245) racked up 15 sacks helping Southridge to the 8-A state championship.
"I'm going to bring some fire and some swag," Johnson said. "I'm going to work my butt off and get better and better."
Johnson originally verbally committed to Mississippi State July 31. He de-committed from the Bulldogs, also first-reported by 247Sports, Sunday.
Johnson has been leaning to the Volunteers for a while.
"They've known I was coming for about two weeks," he said.
Sunday night Tennessee defensive line coach Steve Stripling and defensive coordinator Bob Shoop did an in-home visit with Johnson right before the dead period started.
Johnson is the 26th verbal commit in the 2017 class for Tennessee.
