The Longhorns<\/a> have been on a summer recruiting roll that’s never been seen on the Forty Acres before. Texas has landed 2027 three-star defensive lineman Jason Johnson<\/a>, the programs 12th commitment in the month of June.<\/p>\n

Texas beat out Cal, Vanderbilt and LSU for the 6-foot-4, 290-pound Humble, Texas product. His final official visit came this past weekend in Austin and that was enough to get Johnson to commit.<\/p>\n

UT’s 2027 recruiting class has seen a significant jump up the team rankings in June, with several major pledges. Johnson is the 21st commitment of the Texas class. He’s the third interior defensive line commitment of the class, along with Kasi Currie and Tyler Alexander.<\/p>\n

\u201cTexas is a great program, full of tradition and development,\u201d Johnson told Rivals of his decision<\/a>. \u201cThe locker room there is different. So is the culture. So is the tradition there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Johnson is the No. 42 DL in the 2027 class and the No. 59 overall player inside the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey recruited me early,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cThey made me feel like a priority by showing me love early before I started really getting offers.\u201d<\/p>\n
