Johnson is fourth in the state in scoring, averaging 26.5 PPG for Lexington Catholic, who are 13-1 this season.
"I think their style of play fits me really well," Johnson told LEX 18. " I really like the coaches, and it's close to home for me so that was really the main reason.
It's a huge weight lifted off of my shoulders, I don't really have to stress about it more. Everyone knows, it's great, now I can just focus on high school basketball."
