Indiana Safety Brauntae Johnson Sets Commitment Date
Notre Dame is searching for talented safeties in the 2024 class and one of its top targets has decided the day he'll announce his commitment. That would be Fort Wayne (Ind.) North Side safety Brauntae Johnson, who will be announcing his decision on June 24th.
Johnson earned an offer from Notre Dame last summer when he put a dominant performance together at the Irish Invasion Camp. The 6-3, 170-pound two-way standout recently visited Notre Dame for an official visit, and the Irish came out of that visit with a commanding lead in his recruiting.
The Fort Wayne natively recently announced a list of his Top 10 schools, which included Notre Dame, Penn State, Tennessee, Miami (Fla.), Missouri, Colorado, Purdue, Louisville, Michigan State and Cincinnati.
As a junior, Johnson hauled in 69 passes for 1,081 yards and 16 touchdowns. He has caught 26 touchdown passes already in his career and enters his final high school season with 1,974 career receiving yards. Johnson also has 53 career tackles as a safety.
A consensus four-star recruit, Johnson is ranked as the nation's No. 56 overall player according to Rivals, and is also ranked as the No. 4 safety in the land.
Johnson earned scholarship offers from the schools mentioned in his top group as well as Wisconsin, Auburn, Washington, Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Indiana, Iowa State and Kansas.
Notre Dame currently has a commitment from Arizona safety Kennedy Urlacher, but the Fighting Irish staff needs at least two more safeties in the class. Johnson has been a top target at the position for some time, and landing him would provide the position, and the class, which a much-needed boost.
