SALT LAKE CITY - Incoming freshman Jayce Johnson has arrived on campus and will begin working out with the Utah men's basketball team beginning Monday, Dec. 21.
Johnson, who signed a National Letter of Intent this past November, was originally a four-star prospect in the 2016 class, but reclassified into the 2015 class as a mid-season addition. He graduated from Santa Monica High School early and will enroll at Utah this Spring semester.
Johnson, who was part of the three-player incoming class announced by head coach Larry Krystkowiak this past November, was ranked the No. 47 overall recruit at 247sports.com this past fall and was tabbed the No. 11-ranked center overall by ESPN. Meanwhile, Scout.com called Johnson "one of the best true 5-man players in the nation."
"We are really looking forward to having Jayce begin his college career today," Krystkowiak said. "He is a terrific player and a high-character young man. I am excited for him and our program."
Johnson will participate in practice today and will be available off the bench in Tuesday's home game against Delaware State. Tip-off between the Utes and Hornets is set for 7 p.m. at the Jon M. Huntsman Center.
