DeShawn Johnson Commits to Iowa State
Iowa State has landed a commitment from DeShawn Johnson, a 2027 wide receiver from Archbishop Moeller High School in Cincinnati, Ohio. Johnson, a Division I prospect, chose the Cyclones over other Power Five suitors. The 6-foot-1, 185-pound receiver is expected to fit into Iowa State's spread offense, which should utilize his speed and agility. Johnson's commitment comes after a strong showing at Iowa State's summer camp, where he impressed coaches with his route-running and ball skills. He is listed as a three-star prospect by Rivals and has a 4.42 40-yard dash time. Johnson will join a receiving corps that lost several key players from last season's team, making him a prime candidate to see significant playing time as a freshman. Iowa State's strong academic program and commitment to player development were also major factors in Johnson's decision.
