LSU’s 2022 class added another member late Friday night when four-star receiver AJ Johnson out of Isidore Newman pledged to the Tigers.
Johnson is a four-star prospect currently ranked just inside the top-250 of the 247 composite, 237 overall. He’s the No. 33 wide receiver and No. 12 player in the state of Louisiana.
Johnson joins two other receivers in LSU’s 2022 class, joining Edna Karr’s Aaron Anderson and Green Oaks’s DeColdest Crawford. The biggest fish in terms of wide receivers on LSU’s radar is Shazz Preston from St. James. Preston’s also a four-star, No. 67 overall and the No. 3 player in Louisiana.
Ally.io, a firm that specializes in goal-setting and business execution software, has raised $50 million in Series C funding round led by Greenoaks Capital. Tiger Global, which led the company’s Series B round, and Madrona Venture Group also joined the round. Other previous investors Accel, Addition Ventures, Founders’ Co-Op, and Vulcan Capital also participated. With this funding, Ally.io, which has offices in Seattle and Chennai, has raised a total of $76 million. This makes the three-year-old SaaS (software-as-a-service) company the leading player in the OKR (objectives and key results) space and primed to transform how companies integrate goals with every business rhythm.
