Penn State football has added another top defensive back target to their 2025 recruiting class. The latest addition comes from one of the top defenisve backs in the midwest, Ironton (OH) standout Josh Johnson.
Johnson's commitment comes less than a week after decommiting from the University of Lousiville.

Johnson is the 25th commitment in Penn State's class of 2025 and the fifth defensive back commitment in the class joining safety Braswell Thomas and cornerbacks Daryus Dixson, Jahmir Jospeh, and Xxavier Thomas.
He is also the third flip commitment for Penn State this cycle joining former Duke commitment linebacker Cam Smith and former Virginia Tech wide receiver commitment Matthew Outten.
His commitment also comes weeks after the Nittany Lions lost a safety commitment from Florida prospect Antonio Branch, who flipped his commitment to Colorado.
With the Nittany Lions, Johnson has the athleticism and skillset to play either cornerback or safety.
