Stanford WR Commit Ricky Johnson Flips To Mississippi State

The Stanford Cardinal lost one commitment on early signing day

For the second time in the past few days, Stanford saw one of their receiver commits back off his pledge and flip to another program. 

It started with Emanuel Ross flipping to Syracuse, and on early signing day it was Ricky Johnson who ended up being the only commit to not sign with the Cardinal by the time the afternoon rolled around.

We learned later in the day that the Georgia native would sign, just not with the Cardinal. Instead, Johnson will be a part of Jeff Lebby's inaugural class at Mississippi State.

According to 247Sports, Johnson ranks as the No. 1111 player in the country, the No. 145 wide receiver, and as the No. 130 player in the state of Georgia. Johnson committed to Stanford back in June, but took a trip to Starkville on December 15 and ultimately decided to flip five days later on Early Signing Day.
