The 5-10, 162 pound receiver is rated a three-star prospect by 247 Sports and 27th in the state of Illinois. While he doesn’t have any favorites so far, two schools have been recruiting him harder than others so far: “Houston and Wisconsin,” he said.
Berry-Johnson drew plenty of attention at the Boom Best of the Best MLK Day showcases, displaying crisp route running and eye-catching leaping ability.
“Very physical and a redzone threat,” Berry-Johnson said of his style of play. “Deep-ball threat and a playmaker.”
