Notre Dame Offers In-state CB D.J. Johnson

On Wednesday, Indianapolis North Central junior cornerback DJ Johnson worked out in front of several college coaches at his school including Notre Dame defensive line coach Mike Elston.

The 6-foot, 170-pounder ran a 4.5 40-yard dash as part of his workout which impressed Elston and the Irish staff enough to extend an offer to the in-state this afternoon.

Notre Dame joins Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota and Purdue as the Power Five offers for Johnson.

The junior took a couple of visits to South Bend this fall for Notre Dame’s games against Nevada and Stanford. Johnson told Blue & Gold last fall that Notre Dame is a dream school and an offer would “mean the world” to him.

Stay tuned to Blue & Gold for further updates on Johnson and how an Irish offer impacts his recruitment.
