Koren Johnson, 2022 four-star, commits to Washington

Koren Johnson, a 6-foot-1 combo guard out of Seattle (Wash.) Wasatch Academy has committed to Washington basketball for the class of 2022, he tells On3.

Johnson is the Huskies’ third commitment of the class. He joins Tyler Linhardt and Keyon Menifield.

Koren Johnson is the No. 105 prospect in the 2022 class, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is ranked as the No. 18 point guard and the No. 1 player in Washington.

San Diego State was Johnson’s original pick, before reopening his recruitment after being committed to the Aztecs less than a month. The Seattle native will now play for the hometown Washington Huskies.

Why Washington?

I felt like Washington is the best fit for me because Coach (Will) Conroy and (Mike) Hopkins believe in me to come in as a freshman and play a big role in the Pac-12. I know Coach Conroy is going to push me to my limits and to work hard every day! Also, Washington is home to me, so I wanted my family and friends to just drive down the street and come watch me play every night.”

How does Johnson describe his game?

“I’m a hard, gritty point guard that wants to win,” Johnson said. “I want to play defense, make plays, and score the basketball. I’m a true point guard, but I played combo guard most of AAU. But I can do both.”
