Notre Dame 99-to-0: No. 20 JoJo Johnson, freshman cornerback, former Cincinnati commit

Listed measurements: 5-foot-10, 175 pounds.
2021-22 year, eligibility: A freshman, Johnson has all four seasons of eligibility ahead of him.
Depth Chart: Johnson will be mired somewhere on the third-string or scout team at cornerback, but given Notre Dame has no firm idea of its current nickel back depth, he could find a worthwhile home there early on.
Recruiting: A consensus three-star prospect, Johnson was a longtime Cincinnati commitment, in no small part because of cornerbacks coach Mike Mickens. When Mickens joined the Irish staff after the 2019 season, he began recruiting Johnson all over again, now holding off other suitors such as Michigan State, Purdue and Iowa.
