Keyshawn Johnson was an All-American wide receiver at USC, so it only seems natural that his son would commit to ... Nebraska.

Wait, what?

Yes, Keyshawn Johnson Jr., ranked as a four-star receiver prospect by Scout.com, will play for head coach Mike Riley and the Cornhuskers. He also received scholarship offers from USC and Ohio State.

Dad sent out this tweet to help explain the decision:

Riley was the elder Keyshawn's offensive coordinator during his playing days in the '90s with the Trojans.
