Victory Johnson is one of the 2023 recruits still looking for a future home. The linebacker prospect from Cathedral Catholic in San Diego, California has been strongly considering visits to both Colorado and Arizona State. Both of those programs are now going to have to hire new head coaches. Still, he decided that he wanted to make an official visit to CU to check out the campus on a game day and reconnect with Mark Smith and the other Buffs coaches who remain on staff.
He was not disappointed with the visit as he was able to rush the field after seeing CU win its first game of the season. The crowd and energy in the stadium on Saturday has left a lasting impression on Johnson. He is not yet planning to make any decision as he wants to see how the process plays out and what eventually happens to a coach like Smith, but CU is certainly in consideration as he continues to push ahead in his recruitment.
"The trust that I have with coach Smith, he seemed very, very optimistic even with coaching changes that they're going to show what they can do as a defense. Also, being able to see the university, the campus, see the fan base and the atmosphere at game time was really cool to see. I don't think there's any place that could be 0-5 and sell out, which they did this past week against Cal. Seeing that was awesome."
