Brownsburg (Ind.) High five-star 2017 quarterback Hunter Johnson has decommitted from Tennessee and has given his pledge to Clemson, his family tells 247Sports.

247Sports ranks Johnson as the No. 1 quarterback in the country in his class and the No. 11 player overall.

Johnson visited the Tigers campus on Friday.

"Myself and my family both just felt like it was the right spot for me," Johnson said. "I felt like I had a connection there when I went there. It wasn't something I was seeking out. I felt confident with my earlier decision of Tennessee at the time, but once I got there it felt right to me."

He is commit No. 3 in the junior class for Dabo Swinney and his staff..

"It's very exciting," Johnson said. "I'm really confident in Clemson, very excited about it. I know this class is going to take off pretty quick. It's very exciting."

It's an exciting day for Clemson, who also landed a verbal from five-star defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence in the afternoon.

Johnson committed to Tennessee back in August.

"It was definitely tough," Johnson said. "Built great relationships there. I respect the heck out of the coaching staff at Tennessee but I felt like the decision for me to go to Clemson was the right one and I'm confident about it. The fanbase at Tennessee is really special and the coaches there are great coaches and I'm confident they're going in the right direction too."

As a junior, Johnson threw for 2,545 yards and 31 touchdowns. He has a strong relationship with Coach Brandon Streeter. Clemson was first to reach out to Johnson on Sept. 1 and never stopped recruiting him.

"I think one of the things that really stood out to me was the family atmosphere of Clemson," Johnson said. "It's a little bit smaller school and I feel the family atmosphere of the coaches and whole school in general was really special. I felt really great when I was there and it felt right to me."
