Michigan lands 'missing piece' in 4-star WR Cornelius Johnson
Michigan added a big piece to its freshman offensive class when four-star Connecticut receiver Cornelius Johnson signed Wednesday.
The 6-foot-3, 195-pound Johnson chose Michigan over Notre Dame, Stanford and Penn State. He had a big senior season for Brunswick School with 826 yards on 50 catches, including 12 touchdowns. The Bruins were 8-2 and made the Class A championship game.
Johnson made his announcement Wednesday morning at his school. That came shortly after the Wolverines added five-star safety Daxton Hill.
Allen Trieu, 247Sports recruiting analyst and Detroit News contributor, said recently that adding Johnson would be a boost for the Wolverines’ freshman class.
