    Michael Johnson Jr. commits to Duke, last year's top heavyweight

    Michael Johnson (Jr.), last year's No. 1 ranked 285 pound wrestler, has committed to enroll at Duke University for the 2016-17 school year. The news was confirmed via e-mail from Johnson, Jr. to InterMat High School Analyst Josh Lowe on Friday evening. He was ranked as the No. 19 overall prospect for the Class of 2015.

    Johnson had originally planned on enrolling at Yale University to play football after attending Choate Rosemary Hall in Connecticut for a post-grad year. However, regret over missing the sport of wrestling and Yale's desire to convert him into a defensive lineman (as opposed to offensive line), made Johnson change his mind and choose wrestling.

    "I have been blessed with an opportunity to continue to pursue my wrestling and academic goals at Duke University. I believe that Glen Lanham, Will Rowe, and Ben Wissel are among the best coaching staffs in the country and I'm very excited for the opportunity to work with them," commented Johnson, Jr. via e-mail on Friday evening.
