Palmetto DE commits to the Gators
Palmetto defensive end Kedric Johnson talked to Coach Meyer on Tuesday and committed to the University of Florida. The commitment is somewhat surprising considering he has said he wanted to wait until the end of the season.
“It was a decision me and my family came to and we felt it was right,” he said.
We’ll have a full story up soon when we get more… Stay tuned. Video and ESPN Profile below:
ESPN PROFILE:
Johnson plays as a stand-up end at the high school level, but with a tall rangy frame he will likely add bulk with time in a college weight program and play with his hand on the ground. Playing from a “three” point should help him to be little more consistent in his pad level. Does a good job of using his hands to take on blocks. Will get hands on and squeeze down. Does a good job of being able to take on a block and maintain contain. Displays good speed to pursue plays from behind. Displays solid short-area change-of-direction skills. He is a solid tackler, but can over run the play at times. As a pass rusher he will display some savvy. Not a guy using a ton of moves or is overly flashy, but displays the ability to use his weapons to knock a blockers hands down and work his way past blockers. With a good frame and ability, Johnson is a kid with some nice upside.
Notes
2007: Registered 19 sacks. Also recruited by Kentucky, Michigan State, West Virginia…
