The former top recruit has a new home.
Keyshawn Johnson Jr., a four-star wide receiver in the 2017 class, left Nebraska's football program before his first season. The son of the NFL wide receiver got in trouble over the summer and his dad pulled him out of the school.
Mike Riley was a major reason why Johnson Jr. committed to the Huskers. After his exit, some speculated about the wide receiver's future in Lincoln.
In December, Johnson tweeted a picture of himself with the caption "Big plans. #GBR," which suggested his impending return to the program. It was not to be, however.
The California native had a change of heart. He revealed in early December that he's heading to a different Division I university.
The former 4-star wide receiver also considered USC and Ohio State before committing to Nebraska. With Scott Frost taking over the Huskers, it looks like Johnson Jr. saw this as an opportunity to make his exit.
On Wednesday morning he posted a photo revealing his new program. He's decided to transfer to Arizona and become a member of the Wildcats football team.
Here's the post from Johnson.
Johnson will likely need to sit out the 2018 season after he enrolled in classes at Nebraska. Johnson Jr. is a former 4-star wide receiver recruit from the 2017 class.
