After tearing two ligaments in his knee during an all-star football game earlier this month, Crenshaw High receiver Mossi Johnson said Monday he will undergo surgery and wait to enroll at UCLA until early next year.

The versatile Johnson, an All-City player, said he still plans to sign a letter of intent with the Bruins on Feb. 6.

Johnson had quit playing basketball this season to avoid getting injured, but it didn’t prevent him from going down during an all-star game in Texas.
