Orhian Johnson is familiar with Tennessee’s successful history.

The athlete from Boca Ciega High School in Gulfport, Fla., has grown up following the three big in-state schools: Florida, Florida State and Miami. But he’s also seen plenty of UT.

Johnson said he’s become familiar with the Vols by watching them win the 1998 National Championship and battling SEC East rival Florida each year.

“Seeing that rivalry all the time was a great thing,” he said. “They played Florida State in the national title game and pulled out the win. Florida State had a great team and Tennessee went out and played better and got the win.”

Johnson has received strong interest from UT but is still waiting on a scholarship offer. He currently lists offers from Ohio State, South Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Florida International, Western Kentucky and Connecticut. He said he’s also received interest from Ole Miss.
