3-star WR Tyquan Johnson commits to South Carolina

The South Carolina Gamecocks get their second commit of the day at their Saturday Spurs Up event, this time from three-star wide receiver Tyquan Johnson.

This one wasn’t too hard to predict - South Carolina is the only school Johnson has visited with this summer and he said in an interview with Phil Kornblut earlier this week he was no longer talking to any other schools.

Johnson’s commitment brings the 2018 class total up to 14. He joins C E Murray’s Darius Rush as the only other wide receiver commit. Johnson and Rush are similar prospects in the sense that they are both incredibly physically talented, but may not be the most polished at the receiver position.

The Screven County (GA) product hauled in 32 passes for 822 yards his junior season, racking up 13 touchdowns in the process. Johnson is a full qualifier, but will not graduate early so that he can run track in the spring.
