Chad Johnson's 4-Star WR Son Chad Jr. Announces Commitment to Arizona State

Arizona State is adding a receiver with impressive pedigree after Chad Johnson Jr. announced his commitment to the school Monday on Twitter:

The son of former NFL star Chad Johnson, the 2020 prospect is considered a 4-star recruit and the No. 31 receiver in the country, according to 247Sports. While his father's alma mater, Oregon State, provided a scholarship offer, Chad Jr. instead wanted to go to a different Pac-12 school.

While the name will get the most attention, the younger Johnson has plenty of skill on his own to earn this scholarship and a spot on the team.

At 6'2", 180 pounds, the receiver has good size for the position and already knows how to use his body to his advantage. He is capable of winning jump balls over smaller defenders, making him a real threat in the red zone.

This skill set also makes him a quality deep target despite lacking elite speed.

Perhaps most importantly, Johnson also doesn't have the same type of off-field drama that came with his father's play.

"For me right now, to be doing all that talking and stuff, I'm not there yet," he said last March, per Adam Gorney of Rivals.com. "I just keep my mouth shut and not change my number to a Spanish number. I'm just being me and playing my game."

Arizona State is currently 4-4 in its first year under new head coach Herm Edwards, but the team has shown it can utilize top receivers, with N'Keal Harry off to a big start to the season. It will still be two years before Johnson steps on campus, but he clearly likes what he has seen from the program so far.
