UCLA transfer LB Caleb Johnson commits to Miami over Texas

The Texas Longhorns need at the linebacker position remains, as UCLA transfer target Caleb Johnson has announced his commitment to the Miami Hurricanes, siding with Mario Cristobal’s program.

If the name sounds familiar, it should — Johnson signed with the Longhorns out of junior college as a member of the 2019 recruiting class, enrolling early for spring practice and making it through the first four games of the season that fall before entering the portal without logging a snap in burnt orange and white.

The 6’1, 230-pounder from California ultimately landed back home at UCLA, where he started all seven games in 2020, leading the Bruins with 44 tackles and 5.
