  Draft Scout by Conference









  By the time Tyreke Johnson left Nebraska's campus during the first week of June, he knew he wanted to play for the Huskers. The former Ohio State defensive back and five-star prospect out of Jacksonville, Florida, found a combination of scheme fit, energy on campus and an old high school connection that led him to decide on transferring to NU. Johnson has been enrolled at UNL since at least the middle of last week, announced his commitment on Sunday and discussed it all with the Journal Star on Monday morning. "Just from the moment I hit the portal, Nebraska has done a great job of making me feel appreciated and basically showing me that they have all the tools to be great and they're just missing a few pieces," Johnson said in a phone interview from Florida. "They just made me feel wanted. Then, when I stepped on campus, I felt the love and the energy of the place and saw it as an opportunity and place where I can go and focus on myself and be all about ball."

Johnson redshirted in 2018 and then played in 12 games for the Buckeyes and experienced multiple coaching changes in the process as other players found full-time roles ahead of him. Still, the decision to leave OSU and look for another opportunity was not an easy one for the former top-ranked safety nationally in the 2018 recruiting class. "It was hard to leave Ohio State just because of how great the program is, how great the coaches are and the relationships and bonds that I've built with my brothers over there," said Johnson, who first entered his name into the transfer portal about a month ago. - Lincoln Journal Star
