JUCO product Caleb Johnson provides final piece of excellent Texas LB class

With starting linebackers Gary Johnson and Anthony Wheeler both set to graduate after this season, the pressure was on Texas Longhorns defensive coordinator Todd Orlando to land a large linebacker class in the 2019 cycle while finding some potential instant-impact recruits.

Consider it mission accomplished.

Orlando has already signed four players at the position, including the nation’s No. 64 player and No. 4 outside linebacker, Westlake (Cali.) Westlake Village product De’Gabriel Floyd and potential instant-impact junior college product Caleb Johnson. Both prospects will enroll in January.

The Longhorns defensive coordinator managed to finish with the final major target on Monday — Caleb Johnson of Fullerton College.
