Andrew Johnson, JC offensive lineman, commits to Oregon State Beavers over Kansas, New Mexico State

Andrew Johnson has four years to play three in Corvallis

For the second consecutive recruiting cycle the Oregon State Beavers football program is making a big summer push.

That streak continued Thursday, as San Diego Mesa College offensive tackle Andrew Johnson announced his commitment to the Beavers over offers from Kansas and New Mexico State:

I am beyond excited and blessed to announce that I am 100% committed to Oregon State University. Thank you to all of my coaches and teammates at SD Mesa. #GoBeavs #BuildTheDam @SDmesafootball @CoachChevSD @BallCoachGW @BeaverFootball @FBCoachM @Coach_Smith pic.twitter.com/5noPHUROPd

The 6-foot-4, 325-pound lineman, who has four years to play three, has an intriguing athletic profile.

Johnson was a two-time all-American wrestler in high school and puts up stellar numbers in the weight room - 590-pound squat, 405-pound bench press and 325-pound clean. 

He is the eighth member of Oregon State's recruiting class, and the second offensive lineman, joining Jacob Anderson, who committed earlier in the week. 

The hot streak isn't done yet, however, as the Beavers look to be the significant favorites to land composite four-star defensive lineman Kelze Howard on Friday.

That would make him the highest-rated defensive high school prospect in program history.
