I placed forecasts for five-star cornerback Cormani McClain and four-star safety Dijion Johnson. I have McClain heading to Alabama and Johnson to Florida.
McClain has long been favored to be heading to Bama and has shown it at events like the Future 50. The lineage of first-round pick defenders, the consistency of on field player and what we are hearing on his connection to Tony Mitchell make this a match made in heaven for the #1 CB in the country. Miami had a shot here but on-field play and not grabbing Tyler Williams killed any momentum. Florida is still in the fight and will keep pushing till the end in this two team battle.
Johnson to Florida is pretty cut and dry for me. I think Ohio State still has a shot but the option to stay home will be too much. Florida is pulling out all the stops to secure Johnson as well. Miami has been out of this fight for a little bit now, as the buzz on him potentially ending up in this class never recovered after the UF-Miami visit fiasco this summer.
