Former five-star LSU wide receiver Tyron Johnson is headed to Oklahoma State, according to a report by Chris Hagan of FOX 8 New Orleans.
Being told former LSU wide receiver Tyron Johnson is headed to Oklahoma State. That would be a pretty good offense for him.

It was announced that Johnson would transfer from LSU on August 11, and his father told The Advocate his son just wanted to play in a more wide-open offense.
“He wanted to go to a more wide open offense,” Tyrone Johnson told the paper. “That was the only reason why.”
Oklahoma State would certainly fit that bill under head coach Mike Gundy.
Johnson is a former five-star prospect in the class of 2015, and he was rated the state of Louisiana’s No. 1 overall recruit, according to 247Sports Composite Rankings.
Updated: Johnson is officially transferring to Oklahoma State, per his Twitter account.
