The basics
Johnson led Milwaukee Juneau to a 28-1 record and the WIAA Division 4 title as a junior and was voted the top individual standout of the 2026 state tournament, per Sports Illustrated. 247Sports lists him at 6-foot-5 and 185 pounds. Listed as a PG at Milwaukee Juneau, and he appears on the Wisconsin board. Status: committed to Gonzaga Bulldogs.
The boards
Sports Illustrated's Gonzaga coverage positioned him as a possible replacement for outgoing guard Mario Saint-Supery given his scoring load and guard skills. The Spokesman-Review described a high-scoring, versatile guard who can play on or off the ball. EYBL coverage carried by Yahoo Sports called him the engine of Team Herro's Peach Jam run.
Production
Sports Illustrated reported roughly 28 points and 8 rebounds a game as a junior. Yahoo Sports reported a team-high 14.9 points a game on the EYBL circuit with Team Herro, where he earned first-team honors and reached the Peach Jam semifinals.
The recruitment
Committed to Gonzaga, per 247Sports. On3 reported 15 offers including Indiana, LSU, Missouri, Marquette, and Wisconsin.
The look
Sports Illustrated reported roughly 28 points and 8 rebounds a game as a junior. Dooney Johnson is the point guard attached to it. Yahoo Sports reported a team-high 14.9 points a game on the EYBL circuit with Team Herro, where he earned first-team honors and reached the Peach Jam semifinals. The Spokesman-Review described a high-scoring, versatile guard who can play on or off the ball.
He is committed to Gonzaga Bulldogs. Read him against the states producing the most 2027 recruits. I am holding Johnson at No. 20 for Gonzaga Bulldogs. 28 points is why the 2027 board printed him there.
What to watch
Division 4 scoring numbers always get discounted. The EYBL first-team selection is the answer to that discount. The spring will show whether he is a scoring guard or a lead guard in Gonzaga's system.
