2013 - Johnny Ragin - LB

Interesting facts: not LDS but likes the emphasis of the HC. Really likes outside LB coach Poppinga.

Having his felllow teammate WR Tanner Shipley commit helped but he said he was coming to BYU regardless.

The way the D performed this year had a big impact on playing for BYU - apparently lots of recruits noticed their performance.

He wants to model his game after KVN. Would be nice if he can spend one year with him learning the ropes.

His Spark scores were outstanding and his team one the 7-7 Nike challenge.

He wraps up QBs/RBs and throws them to the ground. Good speed and can chase people down as well as catch the ball. Real athlete.

Rumor board is saying that Ragin has an offer and/or is going to visit Iowa. Any truth to this??

I heard he was tripping to Iowa but still is a solid commit to us. Who knows. The coaches rumors might have something to do with it even though it is just the offense coaches that we hear about.



He tweeted that he was excited to play with KVN.

Someone who follows him on twitter told me he is still taking trips to Cal and Iowa this month. Along with BYU. Hopefully stays strong

I don't know much about this, but I just read where he has dropped Iowa.

He is 100% committed to BYU. Said his recent visit with the recruiting class was 10 out of 10. Coaches Poppinga and Ataia will be visiting him this week after an in-home visit by a CA recruiter.

Wow, just watched his highlights again. First of all, props to whoever made that highlight reel. Easy to spot Johnny.



This guy is going to be good.

Has committed to Cal. Big loss this guy seems like a stud

:utard:

While he may be a stud, doesn't fit with BYU if he can't keep his word. Look at similar LB in Trajan Pili (committed since he was a So.). We move on and reload with other LB - possibly Auston Johnson who was dying to get an offer and would love to play for BYU.

I hope Anae didn't burn the bridge with Johnson. He sounded really disappointed. Guess we'll see...
