Big Pressure, Big Footsteps to Follow: 2017 WR Keyshawn Johnson, Jr. is One to Watch (11W)

ada

It's hard being a teenager these days. It's harder being a teenage athlete. It's hardest being a teenage athlete trying to follow in the prodigious footsteps of a potential Hall of Fame father. Welcome the world of Keyshawn Johnson, Jr. A regular kid who loves video games (NCAA series and Madden, especially) and wants to study how to program them in college, Keyshawn realizes there's some parts of his life that will never be regular.

"I've felt (pressure to live up his dad's name) since I could walk," Keyshawn the second told Eleven Warriors. "It's nothing new to me anymore. It has its pros and cons."

What is new to Johnson is an extensive college visit schedule. He has spent much of the last month in the beginning stages of his recruitment, traveling the country and collecting offers along the way. Ohio State, Florida State, Clemson, California, Arizona State, Louisville, Miami, UCLA, and West Virginia are among the big-time programs that have recently come calling. He's learning quickly how to separate what he wants to hear from the truth. Recruiting, after all, is essentially a sales pitch. Despite that knowledge, he's confident that what's he heard so far is a positive sign for what's to come.

Ohio State recruiting: State Secrets, 4/22 - AJ Turner offered (LGHL)

ada

Ohio State sent out another offer on Monday, this time to '15 S/RB AJ Turner. The 5'11, 180-pound athlete has the ability to play both safety and running back, but projects more as a defensive back in the college ranks. In addition to the offer from the Buckeyes, Turner received three offers from other schools on Monday, including Eastern Carolina, Connecticut, and Clemson. Those four schools added to his already growing list of Boston College, Duke, Maryland, Old Dominion, Pittsburgh, South Carolina, Virginia, Virginia Tech.

Turner hails from Clifton, Virginia and is ranked as the 32nd-best prospect in the state. As a safety, Turner ranks 63rd in the country. As of now, the Crystal Ball has no predictions from the experts, but there isn't really a clear-cut leader as of now. Being in the class of 2015 helps Turner out when it comes to having more time to name a leader.

Torrance Gibson and everyone else - breaking down Ohio State's 2015 QB targets: Buckeyes recruiting (Plain Dealer)

COLUMBUS, Ohio – He's a 6-foot-4, 195-pound prospect who his dangerous with his legs but is working diligently to be an even bigger threat with his arm.

He fits perfectly into Ohio State's spread offense and possesses the type of explosiveness that made him one of the most sought after talents in the 2015 recruiting class.

He is Urban Meyer's top quarterback priority.

He's Plantation (Fla.) American Heritage prospect Torrance Gibson.

But he isn't the only one. He can't be.
