Tennessee picked up a huge verbal commitment on Wednesday night when four-star wide receiver Brandon Johnson, the son of former MLB catcher Charles Johnson, committed to the Vols over Miami (Fla.) and others.

The 6-foot-3 Johnson picked Tennessee for several reasons.

"I just felt like the future was bright at Tennessee under (head coach) Butch Jones," Johnson said. "I also am looking forward to playing for (receivers coach) Zach Azzanni (his recruiter of record)."

Johnson visited Knoxville for the Vols Orange Carpet Weekend in July.

"(Tennessee fans) can look forward to a player that is going to do nothing but work hard," Johnson said. "I am a good athlete. I am a good football player and a good basketball player and I can compete at the highest level."

Johnson is the No. 82 wide receiver prospect nationally per 247Sports Composite rankings for the Class of 2016.
