Updates on Lewis and Johnson below, also info on other recruits out west, some with NU offers and interest.
Joseph Lewis is planning to take two visits to USC in the final weeks before National Signing Day, and those could be important for one of the nation’s top wide receivers.
The Los Angeles Hawkins standout will take an unofficial trip to USC next weekend to hang out with some prospects and to continue to get a better feel for the Trojans and then his official will come the weekend of Jan. 27.
During those trips, Lewis wants to take his mother to campus so she can meet more with the coaching staff.
Lewis said his decision will come on Signing Day and that it’s definitely down to USC and Nebraska, where he visited numerous times and where he has an excellent relationship with the coaching staff.
“I want to talk to the coaches and hang out with most of the commits there,” Lewis said. “I just want to see what USC is really about.”
Four-star athlete Greg Johnson will visit Oregon the weekend of Jan. 20 and then head to USC the following weekend as he finalizes his decision.
The former Arizona commit said Nebraska is also in the mix for his commitment; he raved about the people there and how that will play a factor into his thinking. USC, Oregon and Nebraska are the main contenders for Johnson.
The Los Angeles Hawkins recruit said he knows some coaches at Oregon but wants to talk at length with first-year coach Willie Taggart. An in-home visit should be valuable, too.
“The two DB coaches (at Oregon) I know from their old schools when they were recruiting me,” Johnson said. “I’m not too familiar with coach Taggart, but they’re scheduling a home visit so I want to sit down and talk with them about their plans for the future.”
