Commits to North Carolina Johnson committed to North Carolina on Monday, Hayes Fawcett of On3.com reports.

Impact Johnson will join his older brother Max, who is expected to be North Carolina's primary quarterback in 2024. Currently, the younger brother is expected to face some stiff competition at tight end, with Bryson Nesbit and John Copenhaver still eligible for another season. But should either or both transfer or turn pro, Johnson's upside should skyrocket, especially considering UNC's recent output in the skill position.
