ESPN college basketball analyst Fran Fraschilla is a fan of Jasper Johnson. “The thing that stands out about him is that he scores the ball easily,” Fraschilla said. “I was really impressed with his outside shooting and ability to get to the basket and also be very creative when he gets to the basket. His strength is putting the ball in the basket and every team needs that kind of player.” Johnson was named to the USA Basketball Junior National U18 Team in May 2024. His father, Dennis, is a former all-SEC defensive end at Kentucky and former NFL player. Jasper is originally from Lexington, Kentucky, but moved to Link Academy to play high school basketball ahead of the 2023 season.
