Man, what a turn of events. Less than 48 hours after Johnston declared he had narrowed down his recruitment to three schools, he has made his decision. However, he didn’t pick Iowa, Ole Miss, or Arkansas, which are the there schools he listed.
Instead, Johnston will be headed to UAB to play football for the Blazers as they are set to resume playing football in the upcoming academic year. He cites his dream to play college football with his older brother (who committed to UAB a year ago to play quarterback) as a main reason, if not the main reason, for his decision, so it turns out that family was a pretty important factor in where he chose to go to school.
