4-star SF Jaxon Johnson commits to Utah
Jaxon Johnson, a four-star small forward in the class of 2024, has committed to Utah.
The 6-foot-8, 190-pound senior out of Sandy (Utah) Alta chose to play for Craig Smith and the Utes over a final group of Stanford, USC, and BYU.
Despite being a 2024 prospect, Johnson, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, will not enroll in college until the fall of 2026 as he will serve a two-year mission.
“The coaching staff is amazing,” Johnson said as to why he chose Utah. “Coach Smith is an amazing coach and his past proves it. I love the brand of basketball they play.”
