BREAKING: Tez Johnson Flips Commitment to Texas Longhorns Over Georgia Bulldogs, Alabama
It was a decision that had the college football world buzzing. Tez Johnson, the electrifying wide receiver out of Eugene, Oregon, and one of the most coveted players in the transfer portal, shocked everyone when he announced his commitment to the Texas Longhorns. The news sent ripples through college football, as Georgia and Alabama—two powerhouse programs—had long been considered the front-runners.
The Announcement
At a packed high school auditorium, with family, friends, and reporters eagerly watching, Johnson stepped up to the podium. Three hats sat on the table before him: one for Georgia, one for Alabama, and one for Texas.
Tez began, “First, I want to thank God for this opportunity. I also want to thank my family, my coaches, and everyone who supported me through this journey. This decision wasn’t easy, but I’ve prayed and thought about it a lot.”
With a grin, Tez reached for the Texas hat. The crowd erupted, and social media instantly went into a frenzy. The Longhorns’ burnt orange logo gleamed under the stage lights as Tez donned the cap.
“I’m going to the University of Texas!” he declared. “Hook ’em!”
The Shocking Turn of Events
Just days earlier, insiders had reported that Tez was leaning heavily toward Georgia, where he’d formed a strong bond with head coach Kirby Smart. Alabama, with its storied history and offensive firepower, had also been a top contender. But according to sources close to the athlete, Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian made a late push that changed everything.
“He laid out a vision for me,” Tez later explained in an interview. “He showed me how I’d fit into their offense, how I’d be used to make an immediate impact. And honestly, Austin just felt like home.”
The Fallout
Georgia fans were stunned, many taking to social media to express their disbelief. Alabama fans were equally distraught, with some questioning how Sarkisian had pulled off such a late coup.
For the Longhorns, the commitment marked a significant victory. After joining the SEC, Texas had been aggressively recruiting top talent, aiming to compete with the conference’s elite. Johnson’s addition added fuel to the program’s growing momentum.
The Future
As Tez looked ahead to his new chapter, he was confident in his decision. “Texas is on the rise,” he said. “I want to be part of something special. I believe in Coach Sark and what we’re building. I can’t wait to get to work.”
For Texas fans, the future had never looked brighter. With Tez Johnson in the fold, they had reason to believe that the Longhorns were ready to reclaim their spot am
