One of Roschon Johnson’s choices for college now includes teams that played for the national championship three seasons ago.
The Port Neches-Groves quarterback announced on Twitter Friday that Ohio State offered him a scholarship. That came three days after he tweeted that Oregon made him an offer.
After a phenomenal sophomore season that saw him earn the honor of Port Arthur News’ Super Team MVP, Johnson has drawn the attention of numerous Power Five conference powerhouses, including Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma and Tennessee. This month alone, Johnson announced offers from Utah and Tennessee as well as the two schools this week.
Ohio State beat Oregon 42-20 in the first College Football Playoff title game on Jan. 12, 2015, in Arlington.
