WINSTON-SALEM – Former Tennessee guard Jalen Johnson announced he would be entering the transfer portal in late March, and was planning on attending East Tennessee State to play for former Tennessee assistant Steve Forbes.
Since Johnson’s announcement, Forbes was hired by former Tennessee and current Wake Forest Athletics Director John Currie to be the head basketball coach of the Deamon Deacons.
Johnson announced on his Twitter account Monday that he would be following Forbes to Winston-Salem.
