Marshall Football: Sebastian Johansson to Sign LOI with Herd

Per multiple news outlets Marshall recruiting target Sebastian Johansson will sign a letter of intent with the Herd today. Johansson a 6’5, 315 pound offensive lineman from Sweden (Yes, the country) will be part of Marshall’s 2010 recruiting class.

Johansson’s ability to sign a letter of intent was held up by a low ACT score. He has been in Huntington working to raise his grade and recently received a passing mark.

Johansson’s football experience spans two continents. He became the first player in the history of Swedish football to move up to the senior national team as a junior. Johansson spent his senior year of high school in Raceland Kentucky. At Raceland High School Johansson caught the eye of Marshall assistant coach Phil Ratliff who offered a full scholarship.

Johansson will join the Herd for pre-season practice in August. He will not be eligible for spring ball.
