4-star CB Darius Johnson names Oregon among top schools
The Ducks are contenders for another quality defensive back from California on the recruiting trail.
The Oregon Ducks are gearing up for another big recruiting battle in California this cycle. Four-star corner Darius Johnson named the Ducks one of his four finalists on Friday. The Riverside native from Notre Dame High School also listed Michigan, UCLA and Cal as his other finalists.
Johnson has already made plans for summer visits to most of his finalists. He will be at Cal on May 28 before making the trip up to Eugene on June 12. He will also visit Michigan on June 19.
UCLA has not scheduled a visit yet with Johnson. The 6-foot-1 corner is the No. 20-ranked cornerback in the nation, per Rivals.
The Ducks have had great success recruiting in California in years past, but the competition has come around recently. USC has stolen from the Ducks multiple times in this cycle, and Cal is proving to be a consistent nuisance as well, with Tosh Lupoi leading the charge.
