ESPNU 150 Watch List ball-carrier Storm Johnson of Loganville, Ga., has committed to the Tigers over Florida.

Michigan State, Oklahoma and Ohio State were his other finalists. Among many others were Penn State, Tennessee, Florida State, UCLA and Kentucky.

"I have committed to LSU," the 5-foot-11, 210-pound Johnson told The Times-Picayune. "It's just a great place for me. I like the surroundings. I like the coaching staff. I like everything about it. I'm lucky to be a Tiger. I love LSU."

"Me and my parents talked," he added. "We looked at the top five schools I liked. We looked at what those schools could do to benefit me. We looked at the (academics), the programs and even the city they were in. We decided that LSU was the best place for me."

Johnson rushed for 1,300 yards and 21 touchdowns as a junior while playing for Buford, Ga.

At the Atlanta Nike Combine, he posted an electronically-timed 4.54 40-yard dash, 4.26 20-yard shuttle, 32.9-inch vertical and 102.3 SPARQ.
