Johnson -- a 6-foot-1, 218-pounder (he was a sophomore last season) from Springfield (Ohio) High School -- also had early offers from Ohio State, Iowa, Louisville, Kentucky and more.

He's Michigan's first commitment for 2018 and also rated as the No. 3 inside linebacker in the group.

Johnson is also high school teammates with elite 2018 defensive end/tight end Leonard Taylor, the No. 20 player in the class, per 247. Taylor also has a Michigan offer.

Both Johnson and Taylor are reportedly scheduled to take unofficial visits to Michigan for the spring game April 1.
