Flomaton’s Da’Quan Johnson Decommits From Troy Days After Official Visit To Duke
December 16, 2019
Flomaton High School senior football star Da’Quan Johnson decommitted from Troy State Sunday night, just days after a trip to Duke University.
Johnson committed to Troy on August 2. He received a scholarship offer from Duke on December 3 and took and official visit to Durham on December 6.
“After talking with my family. I would like to announce my de-commitment from the Troy University,” Johnson posted on Twitter Sunday night. “I sincerely thank all of the coaches at Troy for recruiting me, especially Coach (Brandon) Hall. This is my decision!”
Johnson led the Flomaton Hurricanes to the 3A station championship last season, playing mostly quarterback. He was named Alabama’s 3A Back of the Year. In the championship game against Piedmont, Johnson carried the ball 43 times — a Super 7 record — and was named MVP. He also made 37 tackles on defense last season and had four interceptions.
Flomaton Coach Doug Vickery said in August Johnson picked Troy over South Alabama, Southern Miss, UAB, Tulane, Army, Florida Atlantic and others.
