2024 three-star WR Ricky Johnson flips from Stanford to Mississippi State
Starkville - Mississippi State head coach Jeff Lebby has made the wide receiver position a priority in the 2024 high school class, and on signing day he flipped Warner Robbins (Ga.) Houston County wide receiver Ricky Johnson from Stanford.
Johnson had stayed strong in his Stanford commitment since June, but opted to flip his commitment to the Bulldogs after a last minute official visit over the weekend.
The three-star pass catcher was one of the top receivers in the Peach State this season, helping Houston County to a 9-3 record and the second round of the Georgia 6A State Playoffs. On the season, Johnson hauled in 65 passes for 1,213 yards and 16 touchdowns.
The 6-foot-1, 180-pound receiver also held offers from Auburn, Georgia Tech, Memphis, Minnesota, Penn State and UCF among others.
In addition to Johnson, Mississippi State signed Sardis (Miss.) North Panola four-star wide receiver J.J. Harrell and Pinson (Ala.) Clay-Chalkville three-star wide receiver Mario Craver. They hold a verbal commitment from McComb (Miss.) three-star wide receiver Sanfrisco Magee and remain in pursuit of Starkville (Miss.) four-star wide receiver Braylon Burnside, who will announce his decision at the Under Armour All-American game on January 3rd.
