The 2022 recruiting cycle isn’t complete yet, but one team is going to get a prized recruit in the Class of 2023 on Thursday. Jamel Johnson, a four-star defensive back prospect out of Seguin High School in Arlington, Texas, will announce his destination at 10 a.m. ET on CBS Sports HQ. You can watch the announcement live in the video at the top of the page, on the CBS Sports App or via your connected device (Roku, Amazon Fire, Apple TV). 

Johnson has narrowed down his picks to Texas, Alabama, Arizona, Arizona State and Arkansas. The 247Sports Crystal Ball predicts that Johnson will land with the Longhorns and coach Steve Sarkisian. The 6-foot-1, 175-pound safety is ranked No. 187 overall and is the 15th-ranked safety in the 2023 recruiting cycle, according to 247Sports Composite rankings. 

Cooper Petagna, national recruiting analyst for 247Sports, provided this scouting report on Johnson.

Ideal size and length at 6-foot plus, possesses growth potential to add additional weight to frame. Displays good athleticism on both sides of the ball. Reactionary athlete that shows the ability to transition in and out of breaks quickly. Utilizes length well in press coverage and at the point of attack. Flashes good ball awareness and activity playing the ball in the air. Appears to have above average play speed. Willing tackler that will strike you and excels in run support. Long speed and ability to play off-ball are a concern at times. Could potentially develop into a safety at the next level, depending on the defensive scheme. Has the ability to contribute early on special teams and develop into a good starter at the next level.

At Seguin, Johnson’s decorated career includes first-team All-District honors in 2020. He was also named the state’s District 5-5A-II Freshman of the Year in 2019.
