The Latest on LSU Transfer Tyron Johnson
There was a lot of buzz on Thursday regarding LSU transfer Tyron Johnson, a former five-star receiver from Warren Easton HS in New Orleans. Johnson appears to be giving OSU a good look and the Cowboys remain in the mix. Although a decision doesn’t appear to be ‘officially’ made, there’s signs that OSU is at the least the leader.
Here was the first clue with JJ McCleskey, Jalen’s dad, throwing up this tweet saying ‘504 boys’ (aka NOLA — aka that’s where Johnson is from.) Johnson himself tweeted the message.
The 504 Boys!!!

It was followed later by this tweet from Marcus Arroyo,

From all accounts, Johnson appears to be OSU’s to lose. HOWEVER, the only person yet to make an announcement is Johnson himself, who was skittish to divulge much information at all on Thursday.
As with recruiting, and OSU knows this from experience, nothing is official until they sign on the dotted line.
So while the signal of the “504 boyz” appears to be a rally cry for the former Warren Easton star, it sounds as if Friday is the day coaches will need to shut things down and try and make it official. Outside of an announcement from Johnson himself, everyone and every scenario *could* be in play. But OSU appears to be in good shape for now.
