Recruiting Roundup: Top WR target recaps ‘really good’ Michigan Football Spring Game visit

New edge target locks in official visit

One of the players the Wolverines recently extended an offer to is 2027 edge rusher Alex Johnson. At 6-foot-3 and 220 pounds, Johnson is from Fort Mill, South Carolina and has seen his recruitment take off in recent months after getting a bunch of other Power 4 offers. Johnson visited Ann Arbor over the weekend for the spring game and left with an offer in hand. After that visit, he told TMI’s Marich ($) that he has locked in an official visit to Ann Arbor for the weekend of June 19. He also has official visits set up for NC State, Virginia Tech, Boston College and Vanderbilt. Johnson is also heavily considering SMU, despite not having an official set up just yet. “It was a great trip,” Johnson said. “I really liked how down to earth the coaches are and you can tell how they care about you as a person before they care about you being a player. “Coach Powell pulled me into his office and I couldn’t stop smiling (after getting the offer). My mom was crying from excitement and I immediately called my dad and he almost jumped through the phone. “After the visit, it definitely gave me a more clear understanding of how they do things and what they believe in, so I definitely have more interest now, but still don’t have a order or list of who I’m most interested in. What stood out the most (with Michigan) is how nice everybody was and genuine they all are.” As a junior in 2025, Johnson compiled 60 tackles and seven sacks.
