As reported by Chris Nee of Rivals.com…

Johnson pledge his services to the Owls today over other offers from Connecticut, Vanderbilt, Memphis, and Tulsa.

"I love Coach Schnellenberger down there, the head coach. There is a lot of history about him. He won a National Championship (Miami). He is rebuilding the program at FAU. They got a new stadium down there that they just built. I want to be a part of that atmosphere and everything."

Nice Pick up here!

GREAT pick up.

He had offers from Vandy, UConn, Memphis and Tulsa among some other smaller schools. This is a good steal and hopefully he can contribute right away assuming he sticks to his word and signs

Offer from an SEC program…can we post his quote in the FIRE Howard thread??

Nice land!

and UConn just won the Big East.

We can possibly have Johnson & Henry making life miserable together for QBs for the next 3 seasons

Absolutely. Better yet, start a new thread, "Proud to have Howard as our Coach!"

-Go Owls!

On paper this is one of the best recruits FAU has ever picked up - yes it's on paper BUT…to see a recruit comitting to FAU when he had offers from schools like Vandy and UConn is absolutely encouraging. Hopefully the stadium will lure more of these claliber recruits.

Has FAU ever landed a kid from Ely??

Sweet.  Here's an article about Conrad from the Sun Sentinel:

Seems the stadium is already paying off in terms of quality of recruits!
