The basics
Johnson is from Rochester, New York, per Inside The Loud House, and played at Oak Hill Academy before moving to SPIRE Academy to play for Kevin Boyle, per Zagsblog, which reported the move in July 2026. Zagsblog listed him at 6-foot-8. Inside The Loud House has him playing club basketball for the New York Lightning on the Nike EYBL circuit. Listed as a PF at SPIRE Academy, and he appears on the Ohio board. Status: uncommitted.
The boards
ESPN ranks Johnson No. 5 in the class, and Inside The Loud House reported that Rivals has him No. 4 nationally. Zagsblog described his above the rim athleticism, a developing set shot, a growing three level scoring game, and improved rim protection. Philip Kirsch of Pro Insight told Inside The Loud House that Johnson has a special blend of tools and so much versatility.
Production
Inside The Loud House reported Johnson averaging 13.3 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.8 blocks across four club games, shooting 39.2 percent from the field and 84.6 percent from the free throw line.
The recruitment
Inside The Loud House reported that Syracuse was the first school to offer Johnson. Zagsblog listed offers from Providence, Virginia Tech, Syracuse, and Texas A&M. He is uncommitted.

Inside The Loud House reported that Syracuse was the first school to offer Johnson. Zagsblog listed offers from Providence, Virginia Tech, Syracuse, and Texas A&M. He is uncommitted. Read him against the academy circuit column. Leave Johnson where he is. No. 6 plus 13.3 points, 8.5 rebounds is enough for me until SPIRE Academy changes the line.
What to watch
Does the set shot Zagsblog described turn into a shot defenses respect from three? How does his production move at SPIRE Academy against a national schedule?
