The Dallas native has spent two seasons at WVU, playing in 58 games for the Mountaineers. Johnson was a part of the West Virginia team that earned a 3-seed in the 2021 NCAA Tournament. Johnson averaged 5.3 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.6 steals this past season. Johnson started in 30 games for the Mountaineers. The 6-foot-2 guard was top five in the Big 12 Conference in steals, with 52.
College athletes are given an option for a fifth year of eligibility after COVID-19 ruined the conclusion of the 2019-20 season. Johnson is 1-of-2 Mountaineers to have the decision to make. WVU guard Sean McNeil also has the option to return for a fifth season.
Johnson will have one more season at West Virginia.
