Johnson is one of the top prospects that UNC is recruiting in the 2025 class, hoping to build on a good 2024 class. The prospect does play with UNC commit James Brown at Link Academy and the Tar Heels have seen him play a few different times.
Johnson is ranked No.10 nationally, the No. 2 combo guard and No. 1 player in the state of Missouri per the 247Sports recruiting rankings.
