Those who follow BYU running backs coach Joe DuPaix on Twitter know the routine by now. Whenver @CoachJoeDuPaix tweets that it is a "great day to be a Cougar," BYU has received a football commitment. Shortly after it happened Thursday night, running back and outside linebacker Johnny Ragin III of Wilsonville, Ore., announced on Twitter that he had committed to BYU. @Glory_IIIERA said on Twitter: "Committed to Brigham Young University. Go COUGS!" Ragin's teammate at Wilsonville High, receiver Tanner Shipley, re-committed to BYU last month. BYU coaches visited Ragin on Tuesday night.
