Florida DT dishes on Cyclone offer

The Cyclones have put themselves in the running for an under-the-radar defensive lineman from the state of Florida, who has returned to have a strong senior season after an injury cost him his junior year.

Apopka (Fla.) Wekiva Class of 2017 standout Dante Johnson has battled back from a torn ACL to have a strong senior season. The 6-foot-4, 252-pound Johnson may have fallen off the radar of other P5 programs, but he hasn’t on I-State’s board.

In addition to his one from ISU, Johnson has offers from Coastal Carolina, Georgia State and Central Florida. He’s also hearing from coaches at Arkansas and Kentucky.

If he inks with the Cyclones next February, Johnson said he would be pegged to play on the line.
