Darrell Johnson Earns UA Invite, Will Visit Tennessee

2025 four-star linebacker Darrell Johnson (Eastman, Ga.) is a top target for the Tennessee Volunteers and earned an invite to the Under Armour All-American Game.

Under Armour held an invitational prospect camp earlier Sunday at Carrollton High School in Carrollton, Georgia. The home of former Volunteers corner commit Shamar Arnoux and current USC commit Julian Lewis hosted many high-level prospects in attendance for the prospect showcase.

Many national recruits made the trip to compete against one another in hopes of being invited to the Under Armour All-American Game. Dodge County High School linebacker Darrell Johnson did earn an invite, and according to On3's Matt Ray, will be on campus in the spring. He ranks as the No. 63 prospect in the 2025 class, according to 247Sports' Composite Rankings.

Johnson had a great showcase at camp and was one of the standout players in attendance. The Volunteers had many 2024 signees participate in the actual Under Armour All-American Game last year, including corner Kaleb Beasley, safety Edrees Farooq, wide receiver Mike Matthews, running back Peyton Lewis, and edge rusher Jordan Ross.

The linebacker is currently Crystal Balled to Florida State as of November 28th, 2023, by Florida State insider Zach Blostein from Noles247. It will be interesting to see how much Tennessee can play a factor in the recruitment of Johnson following linebackers coach Brian Jean-Mary leaving for the Michigan job. Spring ball is quickly approaching, and this is a recruitment that the Volunteers will be looking to make a big impact on.
