Atlanta (Ga.) Mays defensive lineman Quintavius Johnson<\/a><\/strong> will be playing along the defensive line next year at Georgia<\/a>, but right now, his football team needs him at quarterback.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s right, the 6-foot-4, 255-pound Johnson plays \u2014 and has been playing for a couple years \u2014 as his team\u2019s QB. <\/p>\n

On Saturday, he rushed for four touchdowns in a 48-42 loss to Douglas County (Ga.), and he had plenty of highlights. None were more impressive, though, than him breaking a 70-yard touchdown the fourth quarter and running through the entire defense in the process.<\/p>\n

Georgia DL commit Quintavius Johnson ripped off this 70-yard TD run while playing quarterback<\/p>\n

\u2026 he\u2019s 6-foot-4 and 255 pounds<\/p>\n

And while his days of playing in the wildcat full-time will be behind him once he enters college, we can only hope Georgia offensive coordinator Mike Bobo installs a play or for him in the goal-line package. <\/p>\n

Johnson grew up wanting to play for the Bulldogs<\/h2>\n

Johnson only needed one visit to Athens to decide Georgia was where he wanted to be. The 6-foot-4, 255-pound defensive lineman took an official visit on June 16 and he shut down his recruitment five days later.<\/p>\n

He chose the Bulldogs over a host offers, including Tennessee, South Carolina, LSU, Clemson and more than a dozen others. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhere I\u2019m from, I\u2019m a Georgia boy automatically,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cBeing that I\u2019m from Georgia having a Georgia offer is big. Taking a chance and having a shot to be a Georgia player is big from where I come from.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Johnson, there were other major factors in why Georgia landed his commitment. Winning was a big thing for Johnson. Georgia is entering the 2023 season with back-to-back football national championships on their resume.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing back-to-back national champions is not normal,\u201d Johnson said.<\/p>\n

Johnson was also wowed by the men he could be playing for when he gets to Athens. Johnson was heavily recruited by defensive line coach\u00a0Tray Scott<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and outside linebacker coach\u00a0Chidera Uzo-Diribe<\/a><\/strong>. Both coaches made an impact on Johnson due to how relatable they are as people.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think both of them are good guys that know what they are talking about,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cI made that decision based on the people that I was around up there. Those two guys are good men. And Coach Diribe is young.\u201d<\/p>\n

Johnson is the No. 473 overall prospect in the 2024 class, according to the On3 Industry Ranking<\/a>, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He also ranks as the country\u2019s No. 44 defensive lineman and the No. 51 recruit in the Peach State. <\/p>\n
