The staff has really out done themselves. The 18 & 19 classes were awesome but I think this one assuming we get Jordan and Collins is a tier above those.

I know Clemson is gonna end up with like 10 5 stars or something but I think pound for pound our class is better

Above '18? Idk about that, that class was absolutely stacked

(Gabe Brooks) Commitment analysis: Texas four-star pledge Quentin Johnston

Quentin Johnston, 2020 WR, Temple (Texas) High School

Recruiting: Johnston committed Saturday to Texas, which has been considered a frontrunner in recent weeks for the Central Texas receiver standout. TCU has also been viewed as a top contender for Johnston, who officially visited the Horned Frogs in mid-June. Baylor, Duke, Oklahoma, Virginia Tech, Houston, and Tulsa are additional known offers for Johnston. 

Rankings: The industry-generated 247Sports Composite rates Johnston as a strong four-star recruit ranked No. 61 nationally in the 2020 recruiting cycle. He sits at No. 11 nationally among 2020 receivers and No. 9 overall regardless of position in the state of Texas for his class.

Evaluation notes: Johnston's overall athletic profile suggests a high physical and developmental ceiling moving forward. Not only is he a big-play wideout on the football field, he is a prolific leaper on the basketball court and during track and field season. The 6-foot-4, 180-pound Johnston finished third in the Texas Class 5A high jump competition in May 2018 with a 6-foot, 8-inch leap. He topped that this past spring with a personal best of 6 feet, 10 inches at the Waxahachie Big Green Relays in early March. He was a regional qualifier in the long jump and has recorded a personal best just shy of 22 feet, 7 inches. Johnston's height, length, and leaping ability make him an enormous target from a catch radius standpoint for his quarterback. He owns an extremely high ceiilng as a red-zone ball-winner becuase there should not be many defensive backs who can match his go-get-it ability derived from his height and vertical explosion. Along those same lines, Johnston has shown impressive field-stretching ability in the vertical passing game. While his speed has not been verified in a combine testing environment, Johnston competed the 4x200 and 4x400 relay teams for Temple, running anchor for the latter. That long speed manifests on the field in Johnston's long-striding, speed-building gait. Expanding his route tree and honing his route-running ability will be keys for Johnston, who can also improve his lateral twitch and short-area fluidity. That will aid his get-open consistency against college defenders, especially in the short-to-intermediate passing game.

247Sports National Scout Charles Power: Has a tall, angular build. Currently long and thin, Johnston should add considerable muscle mass to his frame once he gets in a Power 5 strength and conditioning program. One of the more athletic wide receivers in the 2020 cycle. Incredibly bouncy athlete who is an above-the-rim player and big-time dunker in basketball and a state medalist high jumper. Transferred that athleticism to the football field as a junior. A long-strider with top-end speed. Excels on vertical routes. Has the top gear to blow by opposing corners or take a quick hitch to the house. Plays in an offense with a simplified route tree and will need to refine his route-running skills at the next level. Has the ability to track the ball downfield and make some outstanding catches but will need to continue improving the consistency of his hands. A prospect with a very high physical ceiling, Johnston has the upside of an impact Power 5 wide receiver with the ability to develop into an early-round draft pick.

Charles Power's player comparison: Martavis Bryant
