2026 Miami (Fla.) Northwestern DL James Johnson to OV This Weekend

Texas adds yet another massive front seven prospect to its official visit weekend with the re-addition of James Johnson to the list of official visitors. 

Johnson had previously been expected to take an official visit to Texas, and now he is fully expected to see the campus and city one more time. 

Other official visits for Johnson include:

May 30 - Georgia

June 6 - Miami

June 13 - Florida

June 15 - Florida State

Atkinson and Johnson added this weekend ? 😮‍💨

@Gerry Hamilton in shambles 

Something tells me a lot of Big Bags will be dropped this weekend.

Not yet.

Who needs offensive weapons. We will shut out every team 14-0.

Evaluating which ones are worth it at this point.  Don't wanna do that in June just for them to bail before December.

The kids are signing agreements not to take other visits. If you don't get them now, they will not be around in December.

The number of massive prospects brought in on the defensive side of the ball for Texas over the last two weeks has been spectacular.

Johnson last visited Austin on April 12, for those wondering.

I for one love last year’s defense haul and what they are bringing in this year 🤘

Why does it seem that Texas is bringing in more highly ranked players on defense than offense right now.  I always thought with Sark as the head coach, we would have 5 star after 5 star wanting to visit and play for Texas.  However, it seems that Texas is getting higher quality talent of the defensive side (outside of the quarterbacks).

James Johnson is OV'ing Texas on his birthday weekend. 

Syracuse fought hard to get him to cancel Texas, and earlier in the week Texas wasn't sure if he would make it in. 

IMO, Johnson likes Texas a lot. Miami is fighting hard. As is UF and UGA. 

Johnson is from Fort Myers, and has known Kendall Guervil for a few years.

Please don’t underestimate the dire situation we are in.  When the sky falls it isn’t ever funny 😉 

Thanks for the update, Gerry! 🤘

Would NOT say the same thing about offensive side of the ball

Would he be the numbers buster

Those are really short sighted kids.

Am a little surprised we don’t have more offensive studs interested at this point in Texas. You’d imagine Arch, Lacey, & Bell + Sark would be herding them in.

QB - As long as Sark is here, Texas will get really good QB prospects.  Even more so if Manning lives up to the expectations.

RB - Room is deep already.  Chad Scott is in the same boat Chris Jackson and Kenny Baker were when they came to Texas.  Needed time to build relationships and learn the lay of the land there.  Scott was a college football RB coach last year, but still needs time.

WR - I think other programs are negatively recruiting Texas by saying outside of Worthy, the WRs they have sent to the league have been from the transfer portal and not guys they signed out of high school.  Chris Jackson can change that narrative with great seasons from Wingo, Moore, Livingstone and the 2025 class down the road.

TE - Similar to RB, this room is deep.  Not worried about TE at all as long as the guys they signed out of high school and Endries have good showings.

OL - One of the deepest rooms on the team.  I think Texas can get three of the four targets between Krempin, Lee, Ojo, and Turntine with a big NIL push.  Hard to see them striking out on all four.

Thank you for this lol, he literally started with Offense first. I guess everyone forgets when we couldn't get elite defenders to visit lol.

Yeah I’m not concerned about OL. Mainly thinking about the lack of explosive, pure national talent at WR & RB. 
 

Our RB have been ok, but have we had anybody outside of Bijan & Blue really tear it up in quite some time?

Can you please remind me how long ago Blu and Bijan played for Texas.  FFS, the drama some of you try to create is incredible.

Jonathan Brooks was great in 2023. 

Ok, let me put it this way, when is the last time Texas has had a game-changer at RB? A guy the other team feared to touch the ball? 
 

Anybody in the past decade except Bijan?
