TE Theo Johnson (No. 459 overall, No. 11 TE)

Theo Johnson, a three-star tight end from Canada is another guy that you need to keep an eye on as a Michigan football fan. At 6-foot-5, 235 pounds and a 40 time of 4.67, Johnson is the kind of move tight end that can create huge matchup problems on defense.

The Wolverines recently hosted Johnson as part of their junior day and for the most part, the visit seemed to go really well with one of the top rising recruits in the entire 2020 class.

Johnson may be just a three-star right now, but he is trending up. He visited Penn State back in October and since then, he has offers from Michigan, Georgia, LSU and Michigan State, so the secret on Johnson is out.

The tight end did meet with Gattis, who said he has a different plan for how Michigan will use tight ends. That’s an exciting thought because Zach Gentry was never utilized properly and if used in the right way, Johnson could be a huge part of any offense.
